Need help with my set up 17x9

I recently bought 17x9 +35 GTF1 rims. I haven't bought tires for them yet. I was thinking of 245/40 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s . I am on stock suspension. So I was gonna buy WHITELINE CAMBER BOLT KIT . To make it fit in the front.

Not sure how to use it exactly but i'll find someone to make it fit or teach me.

I honestly don't feel like wasting more money on coilovers. I do have to start saving up more money for other things.

If anyone else have any other suggestions I appreciated it.

What are you trying to accomplish? It sounds like your goal is to make the wheels fit. If this is your single solitary plan then you can do that without camber bolts or coilovers. Im pretty sure you could go 225/40 and call it a day.

They will fit, but there will be some good poking up front. You need moar camber yes. Do a search here on camber bolts, it was discussed in detail in several topics.
I prefer 245 on x9, they are appropriate for size.

So do you have any questions?
Put on the bolt or just have the alignment guy do it real quick. There should be instructions or search for the install on here. Otherwise, you should be good to go. Just make sure to check the clearance from the suspension to the wheel, it will be close(1/4-1/2") depending on camber but you should be fine.

Just so you are aware PS4S aren't currently made or planned to be made for a 17" wheel. The smallest is 245/40/18 and everything else is 19 or 20.

MPSS come in 17's but its only 205, 215, 225, 235, or 245/45/17 or 245/40/17.

Should fit fine with no mods. I'm running a 17x9 wheel with a 255/45 tire with no issues
