I would go 215-45 and 245-40. Closer to stock stagger and 225 is sort of big for 7" wide wheel, though others have done it.

If you're not running a front sway bar the 215 will definitely be better.

Tower brace has a negligible effect on tire stagger, so 215 still recommended.

The set up you bought is the size I have sold the most of. They give a little more clearance and the stagger is closer to stock.

I saw the order is set to go out today and you should have it there tomorrow. I wish you would have entered my name on the order though.
You will like the look on the car.

Congrats on your new bought, Bower! I like the look of the ASA AR1 and I was considering 17x8 for the front and 17x9 for the back but Tirerack hasn't got back to me whether they can get the 9" and the offset for 8" front and 9" rear probably won't work anyways.

Anyways, post some pics of your set on the car. I'm looking forward to see them.
