I am stessing so much over it I am just tempted to go with 17x8's all around and call it a day. I HATE HAVING OCD!!!!!!!!!
The profile should be chosen as per a good tire diameter. The SN95 likes to see no more than a 25.5"~26" tire for good clearance. I see a 40 series as on the upper end of those numbers. Need to look up specific tires to see exactly what they are.

PS. I call a ban to HUGE pictures in threads because I have to scroll the screen laterally to read the darn thing

I am thinking about these tires. the 17x9's have 24mm will I hav e any rubbing problems? and the 17x8's are 29.5mm. I was going to go with BFG g force but I do not like the tread design and they have bad reviews

You can to rotate the tires. You just do it side to side. Most places will charge a one time fee to dismount and mount the tires. I'm running 10.5's on the rear and had them rotated not to long ago, and before someone says thats stupid to rotate from side to side your wrong. You rotate tires to keep any unusual wear patterns from forming. Also clearance won't be a problem heres a pic of mine.
