I spent a great deal looking at 3 doors with 17's at central day as thats what id like to fit to mine. Most had 205 and 215 40 17. Saw 1 or 2 with 45's and they looked to be very close to the bodykit even when they had been trimmed. Think a lot depends on offset also. Id go for 215 on the back and 205 on the front if it were mine I think

215 40-s, or even 225 35's. You could maybe do a 215-40 front 235-40 rear combo.

On those rims and offset I'd go 215/40 all round then you have suited truest to rim size and no arch mods
