Current wheel/tire setup:
  • Front: 17x7(215/45)
  • Rear: 17x7(245/40)
9.5 in the front is problematic on stock suspension, no matter the offset. The widest most go on stock is 9 +35ish, and even that pokes a little more than I'd like.

Also, there's no reason to stagger. You won't be able to rotate your tires, and the aesthetic difference of half an inch is minimal. You risk screwing up the handling.

I suggest you take one of two routes:
1) Square setup x9 +35ish; or
2) Get coils and get 18x9.5 +40ish.
