All the way around?

Your going to need wider fenders for up front, otherwise your forced to stretch on some rubber bands

The rear you can get away with a roll and pull and -3 camber with 255/40.

Or just get a really good custom pull up front.

Yeah but they would have to be rolled almost flat which will probably need a repaint.

Well sure, but aftermarket fenders would need to be painted as well. I personally prefer modifying OEM fenders with additional metal (or flaring) because they'll at least be a little more resilient vs. FRP. Any contact with an FRP/CFRP fender and you're most likely going to get some cracking.

Yeah just depends if you want to keep the fender arch line or if you are ok getting rid of it. Either way you are looking at alot of work for the fronts.

Maybe if your not lowered enough. If not, you need some camber correction kit to be able to get enough negative camber to make those wheels tuck in, and yes you want more camber for the track anyway. But either way, your going to need to still flare/pull out your front and rear fenders to make these wheels fit.

You can fit the same 255 size tires on the 9.5 +38 and will give you enough room to make your life easier. You would still need to pull your front fenders, but not as much and you wont need to pull the rear at all.
