The rear will stick out. Even the 215/45R17 and 245/40R17 would need to have more negative camber and maybe roll the fender lips.

You ARE lowered 2.25" or you want to? Because man I'm lowered 35mm which is 1.35inches and I can scrap on a freakin flea crossing the road. I wouldn't go down another inch that would be silly.

I think you'll be driving on the ground lowered by 2.25 inches, your going to need stock wheels with some major camber and rolling your fenders.
