What advantage would you have on the street by going 17x8.5?
I'd be running the lightest possible rims with best quality tyres. Half an inch wider tyre means nothing if you roll on rubber turds. For that matter, half an inch means nothing when you're rolling on the street but a light weight wheel/tyre package means better acceleration and less rolliong resistance which in turn means less fuel.
how do i work out what size hub ring do i need with the new rims?
I don't use hub rings. No vibrations through the wheel. Ever. If you want them you will have to measure the centre bore of your wheels and the hub diameter. Get Aluminium ones and use some sort of anti-seize when you put them on to stop them fusing to the hub.
You need 10s to look flush. Your thinking of 17x8.5 with offset in the high 30s is good if you don't want any scrubbing. Go with a 235/40 and maybe add a little camber to be sure.
Here is an interesting one for those that like very stretched style fitment. Don't know the tyre sizes or the alignment settings but the rear guards have been pulled a lot.
