Yes you can. May require an alignment as well but this is easily the most common setup for aftermarket wheels.

I have almost the same setup.

I'm running Koni Yellow shocks with Swift Spec-R springs with 17X9 square. I have 255s in the rear and 225s in the front.

I have -3.8 camber in the rear and -2 in the front. Front and rear required a roll as well as a tab relocation in the rear.

I highly doubt you will be able to run that setup without a roll and tab relocation. Mine rubbed like crazy without fender work.

You will need to pull your front fenders a fair bit if you want to run 255's. If you run a staggered 225/255 you will not. -2.5 camber all around.

You do not need -3.8 camber for this setup especially in the rear. Front may need -2.5 to -3 but rear should be fine with -2 to -2.5. Something else is off if the fenders are rolled and tabs relocated and you are "rubbing like crazy". You really don't need to pull the fronts much if at all but that depends on the alignment. One option is you can run 245/40/17's all around and see what you are dealing with and if you can get away with more tire.

I said I was rubbing before I rolled the fenders and relocated the tabs. I also got the alignment before I relocated the tabs so I could probably bring it down but I don't mind the look.


I don't think you'll be able to run 245s in the front without rolling your fenders though. Even my 225s were giving me issues before I rollled them.

EDIT: I misread op. I thought he was trying not to do a roll/relocation.

ok so roll the fenders/ relocate the tabs, and do -2.5 camber and it should fit 255's in the front?

I really didn't want to do 245 in front. like how the 255s look.

Nope. Going to need to pull the front fenders too. If you dont want to pull the front fenders then run a 225 on that wheel spec. A 255 sits really square on a 9" wide rim. A 9+45 sticks out a couple more mm then my 8.5 +40 pre inner widening. I had to pull my fenders a good 10-12mm with a 255 properly stretched on a 10" giving more outer clearance then you will have, compounded again. You will need to pull guaranteed with a 255 with a 9 +45 up front. Our -2.5 camber spec just gets you to a point where you can still pull and fit. The rear is easy with this wheel, and totally strait forward roll and tab relocate.

here is a visual along with measurements of what your wanting to move to from stock ap2. Its aggressive for the front. http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=215&aspect=45&diameter=17&wheelwid th=7&offset=55&width2=255&aspect2=40&wheel_size=17 &wheel_width=9&offset2=45

And here is a visual on my 10" wheel wheel compared to yours. notice the added clearance I get with the tire on the wider rim, yet still had to pull that 10-12mm. http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...h=9&offset2=45
