how do you plan on running a 255 in the front? I am going to run a 225 on a 17x8 +45 I would never try running a 255 on the front with a 8" wheel. I am going to be cutting the inner lip out on the rear and I will need no modifications on the front. I do sheetmetal work everyday at work so this little task wont be hard at all

I am running the tires that gruppe-s offered in there package. I am already running a euro spec alingment on my car and I am dropped about 30mm all around. Once I cut out the inner fender I will have plenty of room to go lower.

oh and the tire sizes are 215/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear not 225 front like I posted earlier by accident. If your at stock height i think you will be alright with just some negative camber.

I think those will rub.
I imagine at some point I would like to, but I don't see any need to in the immediate future. Lots of other things need to happen first.

Am I right to assume a 245 will fit up front fine without rolling the front fenders?

Just drive your car around the bowl a few times at Summit, that will roll your fenders and shave your tires the same time.
