+40 front and rear should be great and a pretty common offset for those.
I'd suggest a 8.5 and 9.5 for the FD, or even 9.0's front and rear. This would allow the use of a 245 in the front and back for good neutrality based on stock setup.
If you don't mind, shoot me the best price you've gotten on those and I'll see if I can beat it. Please be honest as if I can beat it I will, but if you lessen the price more than what's truly given to you I won't be able to beat it and you'll end up paying his price.
Thanks, Rishie
8.5; 245
9.5; 255 or 265

That's a bit high for really heavy wheels...Blitzes weigh in the 25 to 30 lbs range! Way too much unsprung mass for our FDs!
Rishie can hook you up with Volk SE37Ks. They're much lighter in weight (15.5 to 16.5 lbs) and you'll have 8.5 and 9.5 x 17s in 40-mm offsets. Should work out fine with 245/40-17 and 255/40- or 265/40-17s. Max Cooper has this setup (265/40-17s in back) with Bridgestone Potenza S-03s. He loves them!
