245/40 tires. Only had the backs rolled. Never did any thing with the front. Worked fine for me

Heres one of my sets with some 245/40 Dunlop ZII. These are 17x9+42. Not as light or as strong as some other options but they are cheap and clear many BBKs. Like DTP525, I use them primarily as practice wheels or if the weather is really cold and/or wet since the ZIIs love those conditions

Post revival. ..
Any more pics or info?
I'm looking to get a set of 17x9 +42s with 225/40 up front and 245/40s out back.
I'm running on the stock hight right now but i might go down one inch.

Roll fenders, relocate rear tabs and run -2.5 to -3 camber especially when lowered. Personally I would roll the fenders, lower the car then buy the wheels. It will look goofy at stock height with those wheels.

+1. I'd also go with 255/40 rear, it's a better diameter match with the 225/45 front. You should still be able to fit a 255 rear with just a roll and -3 camber.

Try reading the stickies in this forum like this one.

Also tough on rolling the fenders. If you don't want to roll them you need to stick to much higher offsets that are closer to OEM. Like +55 to +65 range and even then rolling may still be needed. I would suggest doing a great deal more research before even thinking about buying wheels.
