Default tire size question

im thinking of running 215/35 17 up front and 245/40 17 rear.

Has anyone had this kind of setup before? What do you guys think?

no, do not do that, a 215/35/17 is too low of a profile for the car. it would look retarded

where is it rubbing most likely the outside of the fender? if so add camber and lower some more. Your ris may have too low of an offest.

I would not advise lowering the tire size as it'll mess with speedo calibration.
