Default 17x8 +38 all around

the wheels i'm lookin at are 17x8 +38 all around. i'm dropped on skunk2 springs, 8 coils all around.

i know the rear will fit pretty easily with a basic roll but what about the front? i will be rolling front and rear fenders for sure but don't want to get in over my head with the front fenders if i'm gonna have to destroy them to get the wheels to fit without rubbing.

what tire size recommendations do you guys have? i've read that i should run a staggered tire setup but i don't want the tires to look pinched in the rear and stretched in the front if i can avoid it. what about camber adjustments and alignment specs? should i just get one of those 3-5 year plans and keep goin back till its perfect?

sorry for all the questions but i've been rackin my brain searching around to see what to run and i think i'm just confusing myself more.

I would say go with the 215/45R17 and 245/40R17 for the tires. You are going to need to do more camber and maybe a fender lip roll. I don't think you are going to need to do anything else. With those tire sizes you are still within spec with the wheels.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
