So if i want to run a 17x10 rim with a +35 offset in the rear with a 275/40/17 RT-615 tire. would i be good without rubbing at stock height. i know i will be good on the front because i am running a smaller rim and tire. just not sure weather to go with the 275 or 255 on the rear.

I thought somewhere in here and the will it fit thread that they said you can run that wide of wheel and tire in the back without issues. a +35 offset would also be 10MM farther in then a +25. also if the fenders were rolled would it be ok?

that was purely speculative on my part, but it just seems to me like it would since i have 17x10's. i'd go with 255/40 if i could do it all over again. what do you have in the front?
10mm won't make that much of a difference on a tire that big.
however, most of the guys in the WIF thread know monumentally more about this stuff than i do, and i don't want to steal their thunder.
i'd plan on rolling your fenders if i were you.

fwiw, i asked about using a 275 on this wheel a while beck before i bought them and someone told me it was just too much tire to cram in there, and now i see why.

the place i had my new rims installed at refused to swap tmps - they said the piece gets coroded and mounting point is very likely to crack if they try to take it out and it will cause air leaks.
WOW thats nutty! i gotta come by check that out!

17x10 +25 245/45/17 nitto nt02....
you will rubb so a fender cut/ roll and an aggresive negative camber setup will be needed.

I am gettin some 5ziegens mounted on friday with their lugs. The TPMS deal, i am not to worried about. I will prolly just use regular stems and no sensors. I already have hte CEL, DSC, "Swervy car" light, cruise main, and the cruise light on when i drive. Whats another light. Plus the COBB AP is in the near future so that should be able to remove a couple of those lights.
