Comments:
+40MM offset with an 8inch wheel is at the edge of
the fender with the tire a 1/4 inch outside the fender.
LOWERED VEHICLES MUST USE HIGHEST OFFSETS POSSIBLE!

Popular Fitment:
17X7.5 +45MM OFFSET 215/45R17 FRONT
17X8.0 +50MM OFFSET 245/40R17 REAR


There you go

The tire sizes I would recommend would be either 215/45R17 and 245/40R17 or 205/50R17 and 225/45R17. These should both work but the offsets you mention will be tight.
If I can help let me know.
