If I get 17x9 5-114.3 all the way around should I get 27 offset or 17? Also would 225/45/17 tires fit or 215/45/17. Thanks

17x9+17 offset, for sure. But you're not gonna find many good 225 tires for 17's, except for some 45 profile tires, which have too tall of a sidewall, IMO. Personally, I'd do a 235/40.

This'll clear stock suspension and coilovers just fine.
