Wheel specs were good, but ride height and tire sizing was off. I picked up Johnny's CR Kais and they are being repainted right now. I want to order new tires that fit better and go lower this spring with the full kouki aero. Here is what I am thinking:
F: 17x9 +17 215/45/17 (or 215/40?)
R: 17x9 +12 (5mm spacer) 225/45/17
Interested to see what you guys think. I know it won't be super cambered/aggressive, but I want to keep it semi-streetable with some grip out back. Power is going to be going from about 220whp to 290whp in the spring as well. I think those sizes should fit pretty well from what I have seen in this thread.

Well first off, if you have the same size and offset, and a smaller tire, you realize it's not going to be as flush, right?
I would recommend 215/40 in the front and 225/40. 45-series sidewall looks goofy if you're going to want to go low. You might need bigger spacers though, depending on what camber you run. You're going to need at least a 5mm spacer in the front and a 10mm in the rear to make up for the thinner tire if you're wanting to rock the same camber specs/same tire flushness.
Or you could just rock a 225/40 up front and a 235/40 in the rear, which would give you a little more grip and less space to fill up with spacers.
Probably what you're going to want to do is just fit the tires and wheels with no spacers, adjust to your lowness and camber specs, and then figure out which spacers to run.
