The higher offsets are better but those are far from ideal.

The 45 and 48 offset with narrower tires would be the best. I would say stay with 215/45R17 and 245/40R17.
If I can help let me know.

17x7.5 with 45+ is not ideal. if you're lowered, you need something greater than 48+ at least.

17x8 with 45 you can get away with narrow tires and no drop. 48 might work on a 8".
