I haven't been on here in awhile, but I just ordered my wheels and they are 17x9.5 +17 and 17x10.5 +11 and I'm having a hard time choosing tires and I was wondering if anybody had any pics close to this setup running 205/40/17 Front, 215/40/17 rears or 205/45, 215/45 or 215/40, 225/40.

I ran similar specs for a while. 18x9 +15 and 18x10.5 +22. I ran a 215/35 up front and a 235/35 out back. About -4 front camber and -6 rear camber. Your setup is doable, but just barely. You'll need to pull the crap out of your fenders if you don't have overfenders. A 201/215 setup could work for you, but a 205 on a 10.5 rim is a little crazy. On a setup like that, your fenders aren't your biggest problem. You'll run into rubbing issues on the rear bumper where it meets the fender.

I don't think I'll have rubbing issues I removing the rear fender tab, I'm thinking the 205/40 on the 9.5 and 215/40 on the 10.5 will give plenty if clearance with camber. I've seen plenty on 18's thats why I'm looking for somebody with 17's so I can see what it looks like.

Mine rubbed about 2-3 inches below the bumper tab location. It actually ate a chunk out of the bumper. With less camber, or smaller tires, you might be good. 17's with low profile tires might clear it fine. I misread and thought you were going 18's. My bad.
