I have 17x7.5 +43 with 225/45's. pictured below is 235/40. it sticks out 5mm further then 225's will. but im worried that once its lowered it will contact the fender. espelir asd's should be here mid next week.
i dont think is should run into a problem with 255/40-17's on 17x9 +54 in the rear.

does anyone have any experience with this size rim, offset and tire size.

 

you will get some rubbing if you turn hard or go up a driveway, depending on what tire and allignment

 

exactly what silentdancer said....
btw, nice wheels

 

Some negative camber would help, but not enough.

From zee stickie above ^^^ that no one seems to go by:

For the front:
6.5

 

im going to mount the 225's up and when i lower it tuesday check. i dont want to order rears yet before i know the front fit.

 

Looks like 225's will still be a problem. Rears should fit OK. AGAIN, from the stickie:

For the rear:
7.5
