Rears I would definitely go 255/40/17s. The front specs seem odd if you're running J's Racing fenders. Those are 35mm wider than stock and you can pull off a 17x9 et45 on stock fenders with a roll and a pull. I would recommend getting more aggressive wheels for the front or getting a square set up and running a spacer up front to compensate for the wider fender.

225/45 front​​
255/40 rear

With concern to appearance, your front wheel sizing is not agressive enough for your front fenders.
