Default Tire Size ? Need Advice

I plan on getting 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels with Falken Azenis Rt615 tires. What would be good sizes to get Stretched on these Wheels?
I'm running -1.5 camber in the front and -2.1 in the rear.

Front: 17x7 48 off.
Rear: 17x9 43 off.

Was thinking of
F: 215/40/17
R: 235/40/17 or 245/45/17
atleast thats what sizes Edgeracing.com has them in.

Thanks
Kitt

I would not recommend a 215/40R17 front. It is too short. The rear would be a 245/40R17 and front either a 205/50R17 or 215/45R17.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

For the 17x9, please run a 245.

For the 7" wheel, don't even bother running that size.

Run a 8 +43 because it will clear alot better with a 215 due to a minor stretch. A 215 on a 7" will be a straight wall on the wheel, and IT will have contact with your front fenders.

245/40-17 / 215/45-17 - 17x9/17x8 +43 x4
