Pete, I wouldn't run a 17x8, smaller than stock and the same goes for tire size.. if you wanna run the 17x9's you can borrow the fender roller to make sure you at least get 245's on the back of there. oorrrr.. put some overfenders on it.

you can fit a 255 with rolled fenders + some camber.

Fender rolling scares me...I can barely roll my sleeves up.




So, if I run the 17x9's in the back do I run a 17x7.5 or 17x8 up front ? they are both +50

17x9 +45 with a 255 needs major work or camber.

I agree. Run the 17x8 fronts with 225/45/17 tires and run the 17x9 in the rear with 245/40/17. Done deal.
