FD, right?
255/40x17 for the 17x9 on the rear
225/45x17 for the 17x8 on the front

I put 17x8 +30 on my car and they just fit.
245/45/17 on rear and 225/45/17 on front.

BTW,try posting an INTRO that introduces you with your name/location/car as per the INTRO section's rules and it will be viewed.
NO name.No INTRO.(see rules).
Thanks,Good luck and say HI in the CDN section.There are many GTA guys that you should get to know.

The OP has a FC, but for future reference for anyone reading this with a FD, with the correct off-set of +48, you can use 17x9 at all four corners without rolling fenders or rubbing. And it keeps the speedometer essentially correct. No need to go narrow on the front.
