Default tire suggestions?

I got some 17x9.5 ce28 on order for the rear. I wanted to get my tires ready to be installed when i do receive the wheels. I need some help with the sizing, i was thinking of going with 245s but will the tires be extremely stretched? or should i go with 255s and do whatever i can do to make it fit...i will be getting my rear fenders rolled and bumper tab relocated on stock body...i also have 17x9+63 for the front would i be able to fit it with 245s with just a roll? or should i stretch them with some 225s? thanks in advance....

Whats the offsets on the 17x9.5?

17x9 +63 should be ok in the fronts with 245/40, no need to roll unless you're dumped.

I'd run 245/40 all around.

With a 35mm offset rear and 17X9.5 you are going to need to do some fender modification. I would say no wider than the 255/40R17 and you still are going to need to modify the fender.
