Default Wheel Fitment 17x9 +35

I got a set 17x9 +35 wheels that I'd like to use with my s2000.
I' have stock suspension with swift spec r springs installed and Im wondering how much of a pull and what tires can I fit. I'm not looking to fit 205s so that's out of the question.
I would like to do 255 all around I don't mind running camber but I would like to keep the stock camber bolts without having to purchase any other suspension part.
I spoke to Shane who some of you might know from fender rolling down here in LA and he said it was doable.
Any links to threads and pictures and info is welcome! Thanks in advance!

Roll all the fenders relo the tabs and pull the front fenders pretty significantly. The fronts will be your main issue with running these and would likely need -3 camber on top of pulling the fender. I would probably run a 245 in front and a 255 in the rear for a little added clearance.

Agreed, I wouldnt go 255 up front, too agressive for your offset. 245 would be doable, but due to the agressive amount of camber needed, i think id relather relax that a bit and run a 225/45 or 235/40 and go less camber (-2) I always air on more tire, but with two exeptions, not enough rim width and or more importanlty in your case, needing too much negative camber. What good is a wider tire if half of it isnt making contact with the ground anyway? Your just going to burn through the insides a lot quicker. On a street car, you will get better performance out of less camber and of course better tire longevity. -3 range is good for the track. -1 to -2 is best for the street.
