Hope they work for you, I might go that route. Are you using the stock wheels?

never heard of 9" wide stock wheels

I don't think you'll rub with those offsets...i had 17x8+47 in the front with 225 and no rubbing...doubt 235 will rub...as for the rear...a 17x9 +65 w/ 255 tire usually looks so "unflush" (too sunk in the well)...that i highly doubt a 265 tire will rub.

Are you running stock camber?

update. the tires are fine.... but when i got back to my car and check out the tires.. i guess there was some miscommunication. they gave me 225/255. i was kinda pissed but when i saw the wheels they seem to fit well with my size wheels i dont know how the bigger wheels would fit. ill try that next time.

i went to super autobacs in stanton. im not too happy with the service or price.... i also had to go back cause the alignment wasnt that great either. they left my steering wheel to the left.

225/255 is a more popular size I believe for AP2's anyway. Falken doesnt even make the Azenis in the sizes listed in your first post.
