Default Another will this fit...tire/wheel combo

I probably won't get lucky with someone running this exact combination, so hopefully you tire/wheel gurus can help me speculate if this will fit.

*17x8, 17x9 +45 RPF1

*UK spec Alignment

*1-2 finger gap all around

*Rolled rear fenders, rolled and slightly pulled front fenders

*Tires: Falken FK452

225-45-17 & 255-40-17
or
215-45-17 & 245-40-17 (OEM ap2 sizes)

Tire size is the question...i know the OEM ap2 sizes will fit with rolling the rears alone, but will the wider sizes fit with the above modifications? (alignment, gap, slight pull, etc)

hey Chris..if you do the body modifications that set-up will work...cause i've seen the 17x9 +45 with 255/40 RT615s all around work...so you should be good as long as you roll/pull fenders...but you might need a little more camber in the back (might need)

Thanks for your input AJ. I was going to have spunkysandoval do the work, i hear he can pull the front fenders a little as well. I'm just not sure how much the fronts need to be pulled.

I recently pulled the fronts on an a running 19xx9 + 45 all around, with 245/40 tires all around and it had plenty of room left over to run some 255s. The extra pulling changes the look of the fender quite a bit though. It looks clean, but just not stock. I like the way it looks. You can definately run some 225s on the 17x8 +45 up front.

Thanks!!! Do you happen to have any pictures of your work on the pulled fenders? I know it distorts the fender look a little, but pictures are worth a thousand words! I'll contact you soon about making an appointment!
