Those spacers will give you effective offsets of 17x9+5 (f) and 17x9-3ish (r). I'd go with 215/40/17's with offsets that low. Less fender work and neg camber.

What he said^ said. A 45 side wall is too tall for those effective offsets, and I don't even know anyone that makes a 225/40/17 tire that's cost effective.
