Rpf1 rims & Tire fitment questions.

Rpf1 rims & Tire fitment questions.
Alright, this is my first time buying aftermarket wheels for my s2k it might be a rookie question but I wanna make sure I'm doing it right so it doesn't look all messed up. I'm looking for a nice aggressive stance with a nice set up.
So to start it off I bought a set of rpf1's & the fronts are 17x7.5 et48 the rears are 17x8.5 et40 they where very cheap so I jumped on the sale.
So for my first question.. Would I have any problems with these diameter of rims on my ap1? stock suspension for now till I drop it.
Second.. If there isn't any problems with them, I'm looking for the correct set up of tires for them. So far from what I have found out: Fronts 225/45-17 and Rears 245/40-17. I have looked everywhere but, people have all kind's of set ups & it's hard judge off that so I'm looking for people to point me in the right direction.
Thanks for any feedback I might get.

I had the same size wheel in the rear. At stock height the rear will poke out just a tad. Maybe 5mm from the quarter panel on stock alignment. I recommend you go with 215/45 in the front and 245/40 in the rear to keep the diameters the same. The front you shouldn't have any issues. In the rear you will rub when you go fast and hit dips. If you lower your car you will have to roll your rear and relocate the bumper tab to prevent rubbing.
Forgot to add that you will need to trim the rear bumper a little for tire clearance. When lowered you don't need to roll the rear completely flat. You can add negative camber for extra room.
