Default Question on Tire Size for 17" wheels?

I used search but to no avail .

Can someone please recommend what tire size I should use on the following set up?
I do have the car lowered 1.5"on BC's and I run -1.5 camber in front and -2.3 in rear.

17x8--45offset
17x9--63offset.

Thanks for your help

225/45 and 255/40. Slight rubbing in front is possible with wide (typically maximum performance) tires. 215 would fit, but would also look funny IMO

215/45/17 front
245/40/17 rear

This would look ideal when looking at a side profile of your car.

Thank you for the responses

Why would this look ideal?

215 seems skinny for the fronts.

Its actually not that skinny. I have run this tire for a couple years now it actually looks fat. But then again you have to take into consideration I am at a 3 inch front and rear drop.

I ran 215/45/17 fronts and 235/40/17 and 245/40/17s.

Now I am going with 225/35/18 front and 245/35/18 rear since I moved up a size and am keeping the 3 inch drop..

I was thinking of 225/45/17 and 255/40/17.

I think this should work.
