Default Tire size for 17x7.5 17x9 +45

Sorry to make another topic, but I'm looking at all my options, I've managed to find the tire sizes for my other options but not this one.

17x7.5 +45 F
17x9 +45R

What tire size should I be running if I plan on lowering enough to have a 1 finger gap between the top of the tire and the wheel well in the fender. I don't mind rolling fenders but I don't want to run excess camber. These will be on daily driven S so I want tires to last but I also enjoy good performance.

they shouldn't. 245s will stretch on a 9 inch wheel so it will give some more clearance. so a 215/245 set up is optimal, but if you roll/pull your fenders and add some camber you could run the 225/255 set-up.
