Default 17x8 +48 all around

I plan on riding at stock height for awhile, but eventually will do a 1 or 2 inch drop. So my question is what will need to be done to make this fit and what would be the best tire size

If you are the stock height?

Bolt them on and get an alignment.

225/45-17 would keep your stock 25" tire and will give the tire a little stretch.

245/40-17 would be a good square size for the 8" wheel, but it will be a little shorter, will make your wheel gap a little bigger, ~3/16".

225 is not stretched on an 8"... it's actually the exact recommended size.

17x8 +48 will be fine all around, if you do a 2 inch drop you may rub a tiny bit on large bumps but I doubt even that would happen. Worst case scenario get a more aggressive alignment.

A little negative camber and you should be fine. If I can help with the package let me know.
