Default need help on wheel and tire sizes

Im getting 17s ADVAN RS for my AP1and current have espilier ASD springs on.

WHEELS

front: 17x8 +37 offset

rear : 17x9 +45 offset

Tires

front: 225/45/17
rear : 255/40/17 or 235/40/17

I dont want to go too aggressive but I want it to be little bit agressive and the rear tires to be tuck in a little bit. Doyou guys think, theres gonna be any rubbing issue with this set up? or any suggestions?

please let me know
thank you

If you run 225/45 front then go with a 255/40 rear. Your other option is 215/45 front and 245/40 rear. Either way it is going to rub for sure, you need to roll your fenders front and rear.

It shouldn't rub if you do a proper fender roll. This means addressing the front fender tabs which you will have to trim some of the liner to get to and relocating the rear bumper bracket. Running some negative camber will also help, I would suggest UK spec minimum.

No. There is plenty of adjustment stock. Ride height changes will affect your alignment, if you haven't had one since the spring install then I would recommend getting one.

Front: 17x8 +45 offset
Rear: 17x9 +45 offset

use stock wheels size with just a roll and trim the bumper lip.
example pic.., 40s offset also with oem spec tires.

the 17x8/9 +45 set up with 225/255 tires is probably one of the most popular for people running staggered RPF1s. You'll probably have to roll all four corners, but that's just the nature of getting the more aggressive fitment.
