+45 offset on 7.5 wheel?

Is this okay even though my car is lowered w/competech? The exact size is 17 x 7.5 +45 offset. If okay, could I go as wide as 225 or stay with 215 tires?

you should be okay with 45 and 225s with that drop. most people with 18s that have that offset and tire size (225/40 though) have been good.

i have +45 on a 7.5 with 235 tires, just by looking at them, i think they'll rub if lowered.

cause I have a 18x7.5 +45 offset and I was thinkin about getting springs, most likely H&R or Comptech. I have the OEM body kit too, so I just wanted to try and find someone else with the same setup before I got it, to make sure they didn't rub.

What about 215x45x17's? Will that rub if it is dropped? 17x7.5 with +45 offset, whatever that is.....
Also, in NJ, can someone recommend a where I can get the car dropped. Does it void anything in the warranty?
