Rear: 17 x 9.0 +35
w/245/40/17 (Lowered 1.3 inch)

Also, would a 1.5 difference staggered setup cause any trouble?
Both those wheels will easily fit, but you could also run 17x9 square all around.

With staggered, you'll end up with more understeer and have issues with rotating tires (can only flip them to the opposite side of the same axle).
Also, your proposed stagger is quite a lot. Pretty much running stock up front and wide ones in the rear.

With a square setup, you'll get much more even wear since you'll be able to swap to corners, right/left, front/back as you like.
17x9+35 (or 18x9+35) all around is probably the best wheel option for our cars.
