this is very tricky since the offset is low and the wheels are not that wide. personally i would roll the rear and front fenders because no matter what you do it will rub because of ur offset. I have all 45 offsets on my car and I had to roll my fenders. U will get negative camber as soon as u lower ur car, there is no avoiding that. U might have to run staggered tires meaning you might need to get 225 in front and 245 in the back. roll ur fenders dude thats the only way i can see this working. good luck.

I'm thinking 215 front 245 rears, with camber, might still need rolled fenders. I wouldn't try 225's in front. Anyway, 225/45-17 fronts with 245/40-17 rears gives a "big fronts/little rears" look...
