I read the thread, didn't really find my answer: Will 17x9 +63 fit on all corners with 255/40R17 and no rolling, tab relocation, etc? I'm most worried about the inner front clearance.

Thanks,
Scott.

try to look at 949 wheels thread - they have the same (or very similar) wheel and a lot of trackers run them with non staggered setup.

It all depends on your height and camber. Stock height with stockish camber (or UK) specs) you likely won't have a problem. If you are lowered you will rub and you will need the tab relocation. You can cure that with camber. My specs were 17x9 +60 with a 245/45/17 tires and an inch low with coils and I rubbed in the rear going over large bumps. After a slight fender roll and relocation of the tab no more rubbing.

+60 with 245 tyre should be very friendly setup.

I rubbed mostly in the rear fenders. I just did it as a precaution. I don't rub at all anymore. Keep in mind my tires are 245/45 so they are slightly taller. I'm sure a 245 or a 255/40 will be ok.
