The OP asked for weight, not sizes.

I am running 17x8 / 17x9 with 235/40/17 all round right now, for 300+ HP.

And my wheels weight around 16lbs each. That is the same weight as the oem wheels.

Anyway to the OP : i was running rims that weighted twice as much, and tyres that weighted twice as much too. Honestly, it does not really matter. There is a bit more inertia but not much. If you stay NA though, there is no point in using more than 205 width tyres (even then, try federal RSR tyres, they wont be the same as crappy 205 tyres)
