got yah.... so 17 x 9 plus 35 is 3mm more aggressive or 17 x 9 plus 45 and 17 x9 plus 35 the plus 35 should me 10mm more aggressive if im not mistaken? scratching my head? or in other words a 17 x 9 plus 45 in front and 35 in rear should look great... but id rather get a 9.5 rear plus 38
Refer to Rubn's pics for that particular staggered fitment, or feel free to look @ the pics I've posted for 225 up front, on 9+45. (rear is the mentioned 9.5 +38 with 255's).

ok heres the verdict, just got my setup installed today (F: 17x9 +45 R: 17x9.5 +38) and the tires i went with are F: 215/45/17 and R: 245/40/17. after driving around i noticed a little rubbing on my driver rear (-3 camber) so i will be getting an alignment and going close to -4 so there wont be any rubbing in the rear. as far as the fronts, they are perfect, no rubbing at all, although i am thinking of going 215/40/17 in the front because i personlly think 215/45 looks taller than 245/40. pics up soon
fyi my front and rear fenders are cut right to the edge so there is maxium clearance

ok i know not everyone cares about what people type on here, and how its more of a picture thread but i just want to give you guys an update on how my 17x9.5 +38 in the rears are fitting.
yesterday i posted that there was rubbing in the rear, so i wanted to see what exactly was rubbing. i took off the wheel and noticed it was only rubbing on some of the bumper tab and not the actual quarter panel itself which is awesome. so i trimmed more of the bumper tab and now theres NO rubbing! just remember this is -3 camber in the rear with the panels cut, not rolled and no pulling involved. i am happy!!!
edit: just to let you all know how low i am im tucking tire front and rear

Great to hear! Now go wash your car, clean the wheels, put some tire shine on the tires, take some pics and post 'em on here.
