Default What size/offset Rims Will Work

I am on the market for a set of new rims. I am liking the enkei RPF1s in silver obviously. I have a spa 01 s2k. I was reading somewhere on aggressive offsets. I found an s200 w Enkei RPF1 17x9.0 / 5x114.3 / +45 for the rear, but his front size/combo wasnt listed. What size rim will I need for the front to give a nice swagger look. I am also using in conjunction w T1R B-Max 52 Coilovers Also what size tires can I tuck in there, I can roll my fenders, and will be lowered with those coil overs.

17x8 17x9 +45 version. 255/40/17 rear and 215/45/17 fronts. Will that work? I tried finding Falken azenis on tirerack on those sizes and they didnt have any.

Falkens website lists 215/45-17 so you should be able to get them.

I don't think tirerack carries falkens. You can get away with a 225/45/17 front. or if you want to use the 215/45/17 front, then a 245/40/17 rear. The 255/40 is a little taller than the 215/45, but the 245/40 is the (or close to) the same size in diameter

I do handle the Enkei RPF1 but I do not carry the Falkens. I have the RPF1 in stock in 17X7, 17X8 and 17X9 in silver
If I can help let me know.

toyo a1? Also I think I may go with Work Emotion XD9s in bronze w blue lugs, for a spa yellow s2k.

Here are the sizes im going to get. Will these work? Im also installing bilenstein pss9 coilovers, and will lower the car all around about an inch.

front=17x7.5 x 55
rear= 17x8.5 x 42

Will this work and look good?
