Tire fitment question

I have the following wheels
F 17x8 +45
R 17x9 +42

What tire sizes are recommended? I'm thinking 255/40/17 on back, what about fronts? Looking for an almost flush fitment.

You won't get flush fitment on the rear with +42, the factory wheels on an AP2 are 17x8.5 +65 so you have already pushed the rear way out.

Assuming your fenders are rolled and tabs relocated 255/40/17 are doable. Doing the fender mods are required though.

1. 225/45, 255/40
2. 215/45, 255/40
3. 215/45, 245/40

Those are your options in the order I would pick.

If i went for the last option, would i still have to roll my fenders with only a slight drop?
