Update on the car. I rolled the fenders and it all seems fine except now my driver side rear tire pokes out a bit more. After hours on google, it seems to be a common thing. Any solutions? Car has been aligned twice tires have been checked, both wheels are same offset.

I'm running 17's as well +35 all around on 255's the only way you will fit this amount of tire is by modifying your fenders, either flares or get them professionally cut and pulled. I pulled them to the point of buckling both sides in, in order not to rub and I still stick out a bit. All this is while maintaining reasonable camber.

You other choice would be more negative camber in order to tuck the tire back in. or an even smaller tire to stretch on there.

Personally, I want more tire and not a fan of massive camber.
