my housemate got a new set of 17x10 Stern Reps and 295/35/17 Kumho XSs for his mk3:
for shits and giggles, i tried them on my s13:

f: 17x10 +20, 295/35/17, 6mm spacer
r: 17x10 +20, 295/35/17
-1˚ (ish) camber all around
rear clearance is fine. front is close to hitting everything when steering, even with my beat-out-to-all-hell wheel wells for steering clearance on my usual setup. if i raised it up some, i might be able to get away with it, especially if stay away from full lock. looks do-able for a track setup. drifting, not so much, it would eat shit up at full lock.
also, i checked steering clearance while sitting; i didn't actually drive it. i can't promise that 6mm spacer is enough to actually clear the tire and coilover. it was REALLY close. the tire may have been resting on it, i just couldn't see back there well enough to tell for sure.
i have an SR with 550cc/n62/gt2560rs/15psi, definitely no more than 300hp. i don't actually
need a 295; a good compound 255 would be fine... but the insane amounts of meat is SO very tempting!
