Currently:
245/40/17 Bridgestone RE01R
OEM Fenders: Yes
Rubbing: Nope. Note though, fender tabs are bent in and the fender is a little bent from a previous setup (17x8.5 +54 with a 255/40/17 Azenis on the rim) from going up a driveway.

Past:
255/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615
OEM Fenders: Yes
Rubbing: Yes, the fender tabs need to be bent in. On hard corner, the fenders cut into my tires a few times. You will typically be fine with this set up on the street, but be careful going up driveways at an angle. The steering wheel MUST be pointed straight.

If possible, maxing out the front negative camber helps out alot. Thats how i am set up currently.

I was thinking 17x9 +63 all around with 275/40/17 all around. I have ASM front fenders. Just throwing out ideas.

May i suggest 255/40/17 all around and run a rim with more aggressive offset to accomodate your improved clearance? 275 is too much tire for this car.

I figure that it might be for the rear. I really think i need some more tire in the rear for the power ill be making.
