I've heard 235/40R17 SX2's are rare? You might not be able to easily find them in the future.

While at it, can you take more pics of how the sidewall of the 235 SX2's sit on 17x9 wheels, relative to the face of the wheel?

For comparison, here's a 225/45R17 on 17x9 +37 in the front:



You may notice that I took a photo in such a way that the sidewall in front of the wheel is hidden behind the wheel, so that you can estimate how stretched the tire is.

The narrower tread and slanted sidewalls helped me temporarily squeeze 225/45R17 on 17x9 +40 in the rear, although the wheel pokes more than I'd like (it looks worse in person):



With 245/40R17 the sidewall was roughly parallel to the face of the wheel.
Here's 245/40R17 on 17x9 +48:



Curious to see more photos of how the sidewall of 235/40R17 sits on 17x9s!
