I already have a roll and looking into 17X9 +38 regas but thought i would need to have the front fenders pulled (which i dont want) in order to fit 255/40 on a rim with those specs

My front fenders have a very slight pull. Depending on your ride height it's very doable, the issue would be adding camber at a high ride height.

I think I'm slightly tucking tire in the front so I was going to have to raise my car up anyway maybe like a quarter inch.
My fronts are slightly pulled. Would you mind telling me your height fender to ground? Or hub to fender?

Shoot me a pm if you'd like, that way I'll remember to measure my ride height tomorrow

I just tried 245/40s on a 9j +38 last night and it was right on fender. Curious how much of a difference 255/40s would make. Trying to decide if I should just go 255/40s or go 245/40s instead

Question for you all running 17x9+38 squared with 255/40/17 all around. What camber settings do you guys have up front and rear? I have +30mm fenders as well. Thanks for the help!

What is everyone running for valve stems?
Apparently the standard rubber ones from a local tire shop are too big and won't fit on these.
I need to get these wheels on before the 28th so I'm in a bit of a rush if I have to buy aftermarket ones

Motorcycle sized fit. Also enkei stems for the RPF1 for example.

Ended up going with the Enkei. Had some issues with the rubber seals not sitting right but here's the car now.
