Default Wheel and tire size help !

Bought some wheels and i need to know what size and what kind of tires i need to get the stretch/ poke look. My wheel size is 17/9 in front and 17/9.5 rears. I was thinking of getting tire sizes 215/40/17 for front and 225/40/17 for the rears. Will this work and give me the stretch poke look ? or do you guys recommend something different ? Anything helps. Thanks

If the front rim is .5" thinner, and the tire is 10MM thinner, one would deduce that the stretch would be similar to the 225/9.5.

^^^^^^^^ What is your offset up front? Do you have a pic of how that looks? How lowered are you, and how much negative camber to fit?
