Ok heres the deal I want to get a set of rims that are 17x7 in the front with a +35 of set and 17x8 in the rear with a +35 off set. I hope to get either 215 or 225 40 or 45 tires in the front and 245/45R17 NItto 555R drag radials in the rear. If you have any sugestions on front tires including size Id aprciate it. As for the rears im set on those tires in that size. Please let me know if the rims and tires will fit and if not what off sets would I need to fit those sizes (Im mainly concerned with the rear).

Thank you Sean

The 225/40-17 will likely need at least an 8" wheel width. I'd stick with a 215/45-17 up front.

The 35mm will move it out more toward the fenders and it will be tight. The 215 is going to be a safer bet than the 225.
