Default New Wheel Setup!

Ok guys, Im looking into buying a new set of wheels but I need help/advice.. I know the wheels I want

I want to get a staggered setup (17x8/17x9)the 8inch wheels only come in a 50 offset but the 9inch setup comes in 35/48/60

I do not, nor will have pulled or rolled fenders. I am lowered and want to be as low as I can without rubbing so rim sizes and tire sizes would be greatly appreciated!

Also I recently just had 18x8.5 +48 square setup on my car with 245s in the back and 225s in the front and I wasnt so pleased with everything said and done when they were on the car.

Please give your best opinions on what I should get to get me closest to what im looking for

Thanks

With no fender work, the best option is the +60 for the rear. That should allow you to run a 255/40 without issue, even with the car lowered a considerable amount. I would go with 215/45 for the front as you are right on the edge of having to do fender work. Especially with a lowered car, there is a chance to catch the front fender tab when the wheels are turned and suspension compresses.
