Will these sizes/offset work?
I'm wondering how well this setup might work... a 17 X 8, +25 in the front, with a 17 X 9 +35 in the rear. Thoughts? -- thanks for any advice.

Also, what size recommended tire? I was thinking 225/45 or 235/45 for the front, 245/45 rear?

Why go staggered? It's an AWD car with a 60/40 and you wanna put a skinny tire up front? Just do 17x9 35mm all the way around. I'm unsure if the 5zigens clear the calipers...RP02's do for sure.

Yea your wheels and tires should be the same on all 4 corners for an AWD. You'll mess up your handling and possibly your AWD system.

Yeah actually you can run a staggered setup but not the conventional way. You can run a wider tire in front and skinny tire in rear. But thats for a track setup just go with same width all around
