Default wheel size and fitment

I did some searching, still not 100% sure if which size will work or is better. The wheels I'm looking at come in: 17x7.5 5x114.3 +40mm offset 73mm bore, and 17x7.5 5x114.3 +45mm offset 73mm bore for the front, and 17x8.5 5x114.3 +50mm offset 73mm bore for the rear. Just curious if one of these combos would work and fit good, and what would be the recommend tire size. Again I'm sorry if this has been covered a million times, I'm just bad with numbers anyways.

7.5" +45, 8.5" +50 with 215/45, 245/40 tires. If you want more tread width, 225/45, 255/40.

You should be able to run 215/45-17s, you might add negative camber up front to be sure. In my experience, maximum stock camber (a bit over 1* in front, bit over 2* rear) is fine for the street.

I'd go with 215/45-17 front, 255/40-17 rear (stock CR sizes btw).
