Ok sweet. I'm looking at a set that they have 35 and 42.. 35 seems to poke too much unless you run a lot of camber which I 1. Don't have 2. Don't want. Looking at 17x9 42 with 245 or 255 tires and 1-2" drop and -1.5F camber and -1R camber.
Many people run x9 +35 and it does not poke much if at all, you can look at pics and decide for yourself. Also take account the camber settings, +35 with near stock(0) camber pokes a tiny bit if at all, but with enough camber, it does not. +42 will be cutting it close to the struts if you don't have coilovers, and you may need a spacer. It is a lot easier adding a spacer than it is trying to get rid of poke, as adding too much camber is not ideal. I personally like the look of +35 and that would be my choice.

Look at the meaty tire thread. Then look at the aggressive wheel thread. I would suggest 245/35-18.
