Do you have a spell check? If English is not your first language, I apologize, but it looks more like ghetto slang.

A 235 tire on a 17x8 +48 should clear with stock camber.

You didn't give an offseet for the rear? Are you looking at 17x8 +48 square?

You will still have body roll regardless of how stiff your springs are, what tires are you running?

17X8 is a very bad size wheel to run a 255x40x17 tire on, 17x9 is ok, 9.5 is better, 10 is best.

even the 235x40 would be best on a 8.5 or 9 wide wheel
