I'm contemplating either:

F: 7x17 w/ 225 45 17 +50
R: 8x17 w/ 245 40 17 +45

OR

F: 8x17 w/ 225 45 17 +45
R: 9x17 w/ 255 40 17 +45

Is the extra width of the wheel n tire combo worth the extra weight of the increased sizes?

Also plan to lower the stock ride height by about 1" and Spoon calipers on the front. Hope its not gonna cause any issues..

 

I would go with the 7"/8" combo and 215/245 tires. A 9" wheel / 45 offset / 255 tire will stick out in back and may rub if lowered.

 

Here's something that will help you figure out different combos for yourself:
