i run this exact set up at stock height on xxr 527 +35 and have no problems at all.

I apologise if you've already posted a photo in this thread but your setup it exactly what I have in mind, same wheels.
Have any photos of clearance with wheels turned, etc?

@Rican_D that's not meaty. 245 or 255 minimum. 235/40 is actually stretched on a 17x9. I can see the stretch and it is a profile pic...

Finally got some new shoes for it! Enkei RS05RR's wrapped in MSS 265/35.

Anyone remove the rubber trim around the rear fenders? Is it painted under? I am having rubbing issues and not sure if it is the rubber trim or the bumper tab. Possibly both.
