Default RE070 size

looking to getting new tires and i am on stock ap2 wheels, not lowered.
wondering if going 225/40/17 in front(i think that is the size they come in or is a 45 series?????) and 255/40/17 in the rear.
does that work without rubbing in the front?? and pics of these sizes out there?

It's 45 in the front. The 225s may rub under very extreme circumstances but bending the tabs up should fix it 100%.
