Default Rota RT5s

Looking at the Rota RT5s 17x9 42 front and 17x10 50 rears. Question is what size tires can I run with coilovers, rolled fenders and bumper tabs relocated? This is for street spirited use and not track.
Thanks for any info.

Rota RT5 17x10 50mm squared on Dunlop Derezza ZII 255 40 17.
Pokes out too much on stock height. Needs negative camber or a drop to one fender finger gap to look good. On stock alignment. Skunk2 lowering springs. The softer 8 coils spring in the back. The 9 coils which is stiffer was cut off two coils goes in the front (3/4 finger gap).





A little bit of stretching on the 255 40 17. Rears are rolled by me.





Front are rolled by previous owner. Looks like they took a bat to it.
