I've run 255 square on Enkei PF01 wheels, not rubbing and unmodified fenders.

gah, i plan on running STR this year and it looks like i cant even run a 225 up front on ap2 wheel sizes let alone a 255 on a 17x9+60 if im at a 13 inch center cap to fender ride height (kw clubsports). What do you guys do that run in STR? Do you guys just say whatever and chew the fenders up??

Rolling the lip on the fronts is legal in STR as long as the outside profile is unchanged. (ie-no pulling.)

I run STR with about a 13" ride height. I've got 225 on AP2V1 at the moment with -2.5 camber and I only rub if I get a hard compression in the front. And that is just inside the wheel well (not on the clips).

Interesting, I'm going to have to test fit a 225 ap2 front because at the moment I'm on stock ap1 sizing re11a's. For some reason I thought I couldn't modify the fenders at all, thanks cone dodger.

Forgot to ask but what spring rate are you running and what tires? I'm thinking the ap1 tires have too tall of a sidewall.
