Is anyone running this tire size on their s2k? I need 2 new front tires and want to see what this size will look like on my 17x8.5 +35 rims. Not sure if it will rub or not. Thanks

 

Hmmmmmmmmm.

 

I'm running that tire size up front, but with starspecs. My rim is 17x9 +45. My fenders have been re-worked, so it's hard to say... Are your fenders rolled?

 

It should fit the rim fine. Maybe just the smallest bit of stretch but it won't look odd.

 

+35 on that width rim is quite aggressive for the front. What size tire are you running now? And what camber?

235 on a 8.5 sits pretty square with the sidewall. Your chances of rubbing without aggressive front camber and pulled/rolled fenders is extremely likely.

 

I am running 215/40/17 now and about -4 camber. My front fenders are rolled a tiny bit but are not pulled.

So it sounds like your only real avenue left to run more tire is to pull the front fenders or get all new wider fenders. You have maxed out everything else. If you pull the fenders you will need to pull them out 10mm minimum, and possibly more depending on the tire brand. That will maintain your current clearances with a 235. Keep in mind though its going to be a bit taller then the 215/40 and that will take up a little clearance as well. Unless you meant to say OEM 215/45. In which case the 235/40 will be slightly shorter.
