New wheels

Planning on buying a new set of wheels. 17x8 +43 and 17x9 +43
What tires size tires should I run with these? Also would these sizes make my wheels sticks out a bit like I have spacers?

215/45 and 245/40 or 225/45 and 255/40. U will have to roll the rears and relocate the tab. The fronts will fit ok.

Stay narrow with the tires and roll the fenders. More negative camber is probably going to be needed. The wheels are going to stick out.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

I am +45 offset and I think thats the limit unless like he says, narrow tyres and lots of neg camber and fender roll.

Good luck!
