Not an ideal wheel size, but not as crazy hellaflush as people are making it out to me.

If you're going to go with 215, it would be 215/45/17. 245 on the 8 inch wheel will bulge a little. 235 will be vertical on 8 inch width.

Posted this on the status updates but figured it might be more appropriate here:
I ordered 17x9+35 x4..I have a fairly new pair of 245/40 Dunlop SS's at home..my question is would it be more beneficial to run 245's all around or run the 245's in the front and 255's in the rear..would there be any ill effects of running a slightly staggered tire set ?
....or should I sell the 245's and look to run 255's all around...I do see there is extra fitment work and issues with running a 255 in the front with 9+35.
I am assuming I would need a thicker front sway either way..thanks !!

I hear you s2k007...I was thinking about 245's since they are a little cheaper..it's such a difficult choice..I'm pretty sure if I pull the quarter literally another 3mm I can fit them comfortably with no rub at 2.8-3.0 camber range. I currently have a 17x9.5+38 w/ 5mm spacer and 245/40 SS with no rub at all with a mm or two to play with
