I'd go with 235/40/17 ala MachV Dan
Although, this offset on theez Neez 7.5J 17 ET 43 with 235/40/17 might be have fender rub as Lil Rose mentioned. ET48s gives you opportunity to play with spacers in case you might need 3mm or 5mm spacers for trailing arm or big brake kit.

I am running 225x45x17 on ARA AR2's 17x7 et 42 with BC coilovers and only have rubbing issues on large dips. The tire rubs on the plastic lip. I do run with just a little over a fingers gap between the tires and plastic lip so that contributes to the rubbing.
