worthless without offsets

but 235/40/17 F and 255/40/17 R would roughly be square

add or subtract accordingly

235/40/17 in the front with a 255/40/17 in the rear. Will look good if you are really lowered.

you could fit a 245/40/17 and a 265/40/17 fine if you really wanted though.

yeah we cant help you without your specific offsets.
also depends on how low your car is and what you run for suspension.

I have 235/40r17 and 245/40r17 on something like +33 and +38 with your exact wheel widths... yes most zilvians think they are not flush (enough) and I could run them 1/2" farther out with lip rolling but they are perfect as-is to bomb around in without any lip rolling or tire shredding going on.

yay.
