I am aware about the tire spec's and what not. Specs say, I should go with the 245/40/17's. If I go with those tires, should I go with the XXR 527's in 17x8.75 +35 instead? Would the 17x8.25 +35 be just fine?

I have a set of SPC Camber Bolts and SPC Adjustable Rear LCA's that needs to be installed as well. I'm going for the alignment specs close to -2.0 Front and -1.5 Rear. Supposedly, using the SPC Camber Bolt on the bottom, and using the 14mm OEM bolt from the bottom and switching it with the top 16mm bolt will give me more camber than the -1.2 to -1.5 camber that the SPC Camber Bolt originally allows for when the instructions are followed....that is, replacing the bottom bolt with the SPC Camber Bolt and leaving the 16mm bolt up top.

235/45 would be slightly too tall but still works fine. If you are going supercharger, go for a wider and more common setup like 17x9 +35 245/40. 17x8.75 +35 and 245/40 mpss sounds like the right setup for you. The camber settings, with two bolts and the small drop that you have from the springs, you will be able to get 2.0 camber pretty easily.
