255F & 285R minimum, can probably get a 305 wide tire on the back.

Spoke design effects brake caliper clearance more than raw offset numbers. Use the smallest spacer you need to create clearance, a 5mm or 10mm should be plenty. Z32 calipers aren't exactly huge.

Thank you for your suggestion! I failed to mention that the set up is going on a 550+whp ls3 s13. I was thinking of doing 255/40/17 for the front and 285/40/17 for the rears. Cannot find any tires that are 295 in 17's that aren't slicks.
