Yup what he said. The fronts would need to be a little higher than the rear unless you are going square then I would go a little higher to make sure the fronts fit.

I think it should fit with that much extra fender width but not 100% sure. You are venturing into some crazy specs with everything there. 315 on a 10.5 is really really wide. I think a 295 would fit the wheel better.
Hello S2K friends. Im currently running PSS 225/45/17x8 42 FR, 245/40/17x9 35 RR on Weddsports. Fronts bulge out slightly and rears bulge out much. Using fitment guide that SPA-ZZ graciously shared, I believe 17x7 45 FR and 17x8.5 55 RR will yield a clean flush to fender line. Can someone confirm, suggest or correct before I invest in rims again?
Not feeling my girl right now. I'm seeking flush with body and about 1/4" to fender. Help?
I have talked to a few people with different opinions, looking to get some concrete info. 17x8 +45 front, 225/45 and 17x9 +45 rear 255x45. Lowered an inch on stiffer coilovers, 12k/10k. I do not want to roll fenders. Car is not used for aggressive driving, just weekend cruises. Some people have said this is fine and they rub only slightly others say it must require a roll. What are the experts advice?

Buying wheels with a higher offset will pull them in more. I think the specs you listed may pull them in to much. I would shoot for +45 on the rear. You could also do 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +45. Then again since you have your current wheels and tires you could maybe run a little more camber to get the a little more flush.

I would roll the fenders or at the ver least roll the front fenders. It only takes one bad driveway or odd turn for a fender to catch. The rear will be more audible when they rub which is annoying but doesn't really cause damage. The fronts however are much harder to hear until it is to late. All it takes is one odd driveway where the wheel is turned and the suspension is compressed right for it to catch.

Would a 7.5 +48 on the front make that much of a difference? I can live with rolling the fronts if I have to, I suppose.
