You can run 17X9 +27 all around with coilovers and a fender roll up front. You can run 235/40/17 with no problems. You can go up to 255/40/17, but it may be too big depending on your coilovers and camber settings.

I run 17X9 +24 all around with 235/40/17 tires. I have the front fenders rolled and coilovers. No rubbing at all.

Both the MB Competitions and Weapons are good wheels, and relatively light. I have personal experience with both.

That is kind of up to you, either will work. With the 17X9s you will need a bit of negative camber up front.

The picture of my car in my sig has 17X9 +24 wheels with 235/40/17s in front and 245/45/17s in back. Those wheels stick out 3 mm more than MB 17X9s.
