Have you called and asked them? A lot of times they store this info when they do other customer's cars.

While you may have your mind set on 8" wheels up front, why not go for 9.5" wheels with the 11" ones in back?

I mention this due to the fact that you will be adding so much mechanical oversteer by having a 245/315 stagger that the car probably won't be enjoyable to drive and definitely will handle poorly. If you went with a 275/315 stagger, you would dial out most of the understeer and have the max amount of rubber in 17: you can fit on these cars.
