Default am 17" tire choices

before i get the search police on my back, let me just say that i have spent the last week thinking about what to do. i also just spent the last couple hours researching tires and playing around with the tire size calculator. its about time for me to replace the tires on my 07 gt. what i want is to go with 17" 5zigen fn01r-c. (17x9+15f 17x10+12r) primarily because of tire selection/costs and i kind of like the way it looks with 17" wheels. i figured with those offsets i might want a bit of a stretch. i am currently lowered with gf210s and close to stock alignment. what i need to find out from you guys is what tire sizes to avoid more wheel gap and to keep vdc happy. also i wouldnt mind a bit more negative camber if necessary i just dont want too much. sorry for the long post and thank you for any help.

according to the tire size calculator, 265/45/17f and 245/245/17r would keep the tire size difference under .2% from the stock setup. the problem is that 265/45 dont seem to be very common. i dont even think they exists.

275/40 front and 285/40 rear would be nice.

do you think they would fit with those offsets and stockish camber?
