Default Like a million threads before this one......

Hey there folks,

I hate to start a thread that's exactly the same as you see in this section everyday but I have some questions for the more experienced s2kers on the forum....

THE STORY:
I'm currently running 17x8.5+40 on all four corners with RT-615's in 225/45/17. My suspension is stock but I just bought skunk2 lowering springs that will be going on soon. Rolled fenders are definitely in my future.

THE QUESTIONS:
1) When I replace my tires with HTR ZIII's, would I be able to use a larger size like 245/40/17? And if so,
2) How much camber would you recommend for front/rear?

Any advice would be appreciated!!

I run 17x8.5 right now on 245/40/17. My rear is like a 3.2 on a rolled quarter. Your fronts rolled should be more forgiving in about the 2.5 range.

Awesome! You wouldn't happen to have some pictures that you could post up eh? I hope the fenders don't need more than a roll with that tire width and wheel offset.

I had my wheels off yesterday and found out the size is actually 17X8+35. Am I in dangerous territory here? Definitely don't want to pull my fenders.

You are going to need more than a fender lip roll. They stick out about 2" more than the stock wheels.
