Just want to make sure

I am looking at getting 17x9 wheels and I have been seeing people going with +35,+42, and +45. I would like to run a 255/40/17 R888 and if not a 245/40/17 R888. I am stock suspension what will fit?

Thanks for looking.

Define fit? If you want to stay inside the guards and not have any fouling then none of those options will fit with std suspension...
+35 will work but will obviously poke out.

I don't mind a little poking. I just do not want any rubbing or issues.

+45 will more than likely rub on the stock spring perch with those tires, especially if you want to run some useful camber.

If you're keeping stock suspension, the +35 with 245 or 255 will definitely poke out a bit up front. You can bring it back in with a mild drop and some camber adjustment.
