Default Blitz 03 17x8 +45 17x9+38

wanted these Blitz 03

What size tires would I run? Also they have some that are 17x8+45 & 17x9+45 tires? & what if they had 17x8+35 & 17x9+35(which I'm more interested in) tire size for these? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:
Got them.. here they are


17x8 +45 fronts & 17x9 +38 rear.

Thanks for all your help. I will post more pics when tires are mounted & its on car.

215/45 and 245/40 would be good for both offsets.

The 35mm offset is going to take a lot of work to fit the car. The 45mm offset would be OK with the 245/40R17 tires.
If I can help let me know.

The +45 sets sold already. Jim, you said the +35 would take some work but will +38 be ok as the link up there states the wheels are still for sale. I do have a Eastwood roller so I'll be rolling my fender & my rear camber is @ -2 right now. I do have a set of 245/45/17 for the rear but need fronts. Will the 245/45 be ok for rears & what should I run in front? Will 225/45/17s be ok for fronts? Fronts are @ 0 camber right now. Thanks in advance.

If it were me I'd run 225/45 fronts.

I personally like the 225F 255R split, but that's just me...

Just remember it's 225/45 F and 255/40 R...the height will be a different number on each.

UPDATE: Just bought the 17x8 +45 & 17x9 +38. I know the front will fit with 225/45/17s. My question now is, do I have to roll the rear? Its +38 for the rear.

Thanks for all your help =)
