Default 17x9.5 +35?

Hey everyone,
I know it's been posted a lot but I woukd like to try and grab some solid information this way.
I'm looking at a set of Advan RS jn 17x9.5 +35 square, with 255 square also.
I have about a 2 finger gap at the moment, running 17x9 +40 with 245 square. Guards are rolled with the slightest pull, tabs relocated.

The ultimate question, will they definitely fit? I probably dont want to go more than -3 camber, but im happy to put more work into the guards.

Thanks everyone

IMO You need a lot more work than most people are willing to do.

My (Rear) quarter panels buckled from the pull required. I run 2.8-3 camber and 1 finger gap and they 100% do not rub on street/track (everyone seems to have a different tolerance for rubbing it seems)

For the fronts you need to fully flare the fenders and have a body shop fix it up or get something like downforce fenders

The rears are doable.

But the fronts are another story, especially if you plan to run 255/40.

The rears aren't double either if you want a 255 and less then -3 camber and no buckled quarters. There is no point in trying, just run the right offset. Will look better anyway. A rear pull if you manage to not buckle still doesn't look good becuase the bumper cover joint never lines up. If you want to give it a go regardless of the recommendation, do it with a 245, this could fit without all the compromises and work.

I think 9.5 +40 and 255s is about the max you can get, right Chris?

unless you want hellaflush camber or tire stretch, then yes

I thought going from 17x9 +35 to 17x9.5 +40 was such a small difference that it wouldn't matter--I was wrong. I couldn't imagine taking it a step further and going 17x9.5 +35... of course to the hellaflush crowd, those are easy-peasy specs! haha

What are you at for camber in the back again ??? I have been waiting to put mine on until I got everything(camber joints mainly for the front) I want to be -3.5F and -3 to -3.2 in the rear. I just hope Spunky rolled my fenders enough for that.
