8.5 front, 10 in back is a common staggered setup w/o suspension/fender change. usually 245 front and 265 back is the tire size I believe. check tirerack too.

to get 10" in the rear you might need to goto aftermarket trailing arms and toe links.

I can't remember for sure.

this was talked about before, try a search under the topic in the suspension section

also you need to type in a wild card like 17* as 17 is two small of a search term.

you can get 17x9 +45 with 255/40 under the front no problem and still lower it. i have 17x9.5 +40 in the front but i have very stiff suspention and it's only lowered about 1.2 inches. i agree with SpeedKing for the back.
