Default Tire size for front 17x7.5 +50 rear 17x8.5 +47

Looking for suggestions on tire sizes for some CE28N wheels I'm looking to pick up locally. Its :
Front:
17x7.5 +50
Rear:
17x8.5 +47

Currently running stock AP2v1 w/ an inch or so drop
Front:
17" x 7.0", +55 offset w/ 225/45/17
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset w/ 255/40/17

Don't mind rolling fenders or running a bit camber but just wondering what are some of the best tire setup suggested by you folks for these specs (and if it will require any rolling/camber/max or min drop) since the rears are a bit lower offset. Thanks in advance!

You can run those same tires specs as what you have now. I have slight rubbing on fast dips with 255 with 8.5 +50 rears even with ~2.8 rear camber on unmodded fenders. You might get away with no rubbing with 245.

You shouldn't need much to make that wheel set clear.

Though its important to note how you're lowered. A full body adjustable coilover retains travel at lower ride heights. A single point adjustable or stock shock does not. Big difference.

Tips ..Never turn the front wheels at a high angle while going up a driveway or something.

Cut off or roll up the front tabs.

I'd use stock AP2 tire sizing of 215/45 front and 245/40 rear

Or 225/45 front and 255/40 rear.
