What do you suggest for the H&R ride height? 17x8 +40 front and 17x9 +42 rear with some spacers? I currently have 17x7 and wanted to go wider...

I know there are more options in that size, but I'm trying to gain a bit of ride height. Mainly due to my sucky ground clearance with the s52 3" exhaust. My current 205/45 s.drives are 590mm, vs 583mm for the 225/45's. Basically the plan is to adjust the coils up while making sure the wheel wells still look filled :rofl:

I have a machined 5 lug conversion, pushes front out 12mm each side. rear is e30 m3 5 lug width, same as stock. I have a set of style 42 17x8 et 20 all around, im thinking about strapping them with 225/45/17 or should I go 40 aspect ratio? Thanks in advance for the help!
P.S. currently on eibach springs and bilstein sports, soon to be on full ground control coil overs, I have no problem rolling fenders if need be, fronts are already rolled a bit from P.O.

Background:
I'm currently running 16x8 et8 front/16x9 et15 rear with 225/45/16 Falken FK452's all around. I'm happy, but I wish I went 16x9 square.
Tires are almost shot, and the only thing I can find without shipping internationally are two Toyo Proxes T1R 225/45/16 (and they're on clearance for $75/pc). I can ship two 245/45/16 of these for another $400, and I feel it is worth it.
My questions:
1: With 16x9 et15, how hard is it going to be to fit 245/45 in the rear? It is already rolled and pulled somewhat, but it looks pretty close as is.
2: I plan to swap the fronts out for 16x9 et15 as well, which will push my wheel out 6mm more. I've test fitted my current rears to the front and with a 225 it looks like it will work, but would you call me crazy if I try to fit 245's up front after I run out of 225's?Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

Late Model e30 with rolled fenders on ground control coils, lowered but not dumped.
- car is a turbo car (s52 turbo making 500+whp) so looking to fit largest rear tire I can on the apex acr8 17x8+25 wheels.
Can I fit a 245/40 out back on that wheel? or should I stick to a 235/40 square setup?
- street tires also no Hoosiers. Most likely NT01/Toyo R1R/R888

Test fitted today. These are a lot wider than I anticipated and I'm having some trouble clearing the coilovers. Simply to get an idea, the pictures below show the test fit with 40mm's worth of spacers and camber plates maxed out.
Wheel specs are 16x9.5 CCW LM16's. They were purchased from a local guy here who said they were a +22 offset. But I'm a little confused because with the 40mm spacers, that would put me at -18. Not realistic, right?
Any other ideas on clearing the coilovers?
