Default PF01 17x8 with 225-45 17 Ventura RS4 on front

Considering Enkei PF01s and Ventus RS4s for front; 17x8 wheels with 225-45s. 9” wheels with 255-40s on rear. Both front and rear 17” dia.
Ride height almost stock; 13.5 inches from wheel center to fender lip. Front camber -1.7. Both cross section width and tread width of the front tires are greater than 8””. Theoretically, should not look stretched and there should be no tire rubbing of fenders and suspension pieces. Anyone have any experience with this setup for front?

Id say your assessment is correct assuming these are the +50F/+60R offset wheels. If so yes no problem, go for it!

im lowered to about approx 13 inches from cap to fender lip and have these exact those exact sizes. I pushed the fender tabs in slightly for piece of mind but even after autox with multiple passengers up to 250lbs still no rubbing. The front has a 225 re71r and it definitely doesnt look stretched, 255 on the rear.

I have a similar setup 17x9 with +48 245 on all 4 and I have to rolled and relocated the taps. My car is lower. If you have +50 on the 17x8 and +60 on 17x9 you should be fine.

Just to recap, would this be the setup? I'm asking since I'm currently looking to purchase a set of wheels in the near future.
