the offset is not typical yes but the size of the rims are sorta

sizes you can use are 235/45/17 for the front and 255-265/40/17 for the rear. Offset doesnt effect tire sizing.

Crazy setup tho! What rims?

i would run 225/45/17 up front and 245/40/17 in the rear. one of the SD guys ran a more aggressive set-up vs-xx and he cleared all day. and just a little fyi to imnotcreative, the sidewall is an aspect ratio (its a percentage of the width). so you really cant say add 5mm to the sidewall to move from a 40 series tire to a 45 series tire. its a 5 percent increase.
