After doing some seraching with now one responding, i cam across some interesting info.

Few individual say go with 215-45 all the way around

so im guessing 215-45 is the best solution for the front. for the rear i can put 225-45 and clear everyting correct?

I would really like to go even bigger in the rear but i guess cause its 17x7 bigger tires wont fit on 7 inch wheel.

if im wrong or you have better info or solution let me know. thanks

not sure cause that info I found from folks who had a 40" offset and iI will have havea 42" which brings the wheel in closer . not sure if that will able me to put bigger tires on or not.
