Default RPF1 fitment

First of, i did the search, and i came up with ALOT of info. I checked the sticky, but it didnt have the rear tire size that i was looking at mentioned, and the sheer volume of info made my head hurt. I wanted to try the offset calculator, but seeing as how im currently in Iraq, that website is blocked, as is everything that i tried to google...

17x7.5 RPF1 up front with 48mm offset
tire rack recommends- 205/50-17
My tire choice- Khumo Excsta SPT

Rear
17x9 RPF1 with 45mm offset
Tire rack recommends- 225/45-17
Same tire choice


If its possible, i would like to go with these sizes...

front 225/45-17
rear 245/40-17

I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this issue!

with rolled fenders you'll be fine...if not I would run a 215/45 up front to be safe and about -3 camber in the rear with that 245/40.
