Looking for suggestions on tire sizes

Hi all. Heres my delima. I have a set of 17x9 wheels +35 offset. They will require a 25mm spacer up front to clear the capiler. I have 2 sets off tires 235/45/17 and 245/40/17. Which should i run to not have rubbing issues?

Im sitting on k-sport coilovers and the front fenders are carbon so they can't be rolled.

Thanks for any help you guys got

I'd stay conservative and use the 235's with the spacer and coils.

245-255 on the 9" imo, but you might have some some rolling in the rear kinda depends tire though.
