I would roll your fenders and think about a 245 for the back.

I guess it depends on how low you go. Those are the same width as my wheels,those stick out 5mm farther than mine. My car is 2.5-3.0 inches lower than stock and i had to roll my fenders and relocate my rear bumper tap. I am running a 225 front and a 245 rear.

If those wheels are a 40mm offset they are going to stick out with a 255/40R17.

There is no way they will fit without rolling the fenders if you lower. I have a 17x9+45 and I had to roll mine with a 255
