I didn't even read it. It is painful to look at.

Put down the bath salts and turn caps lock off.

Ok 17x9 +35 is not terrible for the rear of the car. You can easily run a 245/40/15 or even a 255/40/17. You need to have your fenders rolled, relocate the bumper tab and run at least 2 degrees of camber all the way around. For the front you need the fenders rolled and the same if not a little more camber. In the mean time TAKE THEM OFF THE CAR! You are going to damage your fenders if they aren't rolled. For the front you may have to run a 235 tire but I wouldn't stretch it more than that.

For shops that people trust go into the Florida subforum and ask where people have their cars worked on.

ok thanks wheels haven't been on since I test fit them for like 30 mins while doing the aligment....do you think a roll will be sufficient enough for the front though. I was looking for a while and a lot of people were flaring the fronts with similar width and offset and by the way don't reply if its to painful

You can flare the front a little with the fender roller if the person doing it is good. The camber helps a lot as well but you shouldn't have to go to crazy to have them fit. Also running a slightly narrow tire in front will help. If you wanted to run 245 or 255 square you would have to run more camber up front and flare the fenders a little more.

I'm running 8.5 's( et40) on the front, mine have only been rolled and they do not scrape one bit now.
Your defo going to need to relocate the rear bumper tab though, its pretty dam easy to do ( plenty of guides on here)
Since relocating the tabs mine does not scrape one bit, even with the coilovers on pretty soft settings, thats with 9.5's on the rear too !

i have 17x9 +45 all around with 255. fenders rolled front and rear, front flared a little, relocat rear tab and 2.8 camber rear, and 2.5 front i think. you should be able to fit them with similar work, probably a little more flare depending on tires size, not too extreme
