Ok so that will work with factory strut style dampers and OE style lowering springs.

This will not work with coilovers.

Tire sizes must be 235/40/17 and 255/40/17.

The 235/45/17 probably won't work. Most likely will hit the lower spring perch on your front strut and/or possibly your fender liner.

The problem is the tire's diameter more than spacing of the wheel. I don't believe it will work. It's too tall of a tire for the FC's fender well.
