the 17x10 +35 will stick out of the rear fenders, unless you run massive camber and slightly stretched tires. You will be required to roll the fender lip flat, as well as trim the rear bumper and relocate the bumper tab. the 255 series tire will have a slight stretch on a 10" so you might be able to pull it off. However, if you are unable to run the minimum amount of camber to tuck the wheels it, it will look goofy. best of luck

Thanks for the info.

Just curious, does anyone have a sample pic of how it looks like. Anyone has done +35 offset rear? I'd like to see how it's gonna look like with -3 Camber.

What's your opinions on machining the wheels? Let's say like 10mm.

I think 10mm is a bit much.. From doing some searching around, I've found that 5mm is about the most you can go until it starts to become "unsafe". I have a +35 out back, but on a 9" rim. with less than -3

10+35 with 2.25 degree camber. 255 tires. the 275 on the rear will only fit with widebody ...

I'm assuming 215/45 will definitely not work in the front? It has to be 215/40 or 215/35?

215/45 is the proper diameter. You could probably get away with a 225/45 as well if you want a little more tread width. 255/40 is the way to go on the rear. As you can see by Sinji's pic, it isn't really stretched that much at all.

Yea, but he has overfender. I'm just afraid 255/40 will rub. S2kpinoy recommended 255/35.

I guess I need to try myself...
