You may have to tweak the fenders a bit and run a little more camber to get a 255 on a +15 offset wheel in the back. Just FYI. It's the tires that rub the bodywork first, so pay attention to tire sizes when determining fender clearance.

The wheel manufacturers' recommendations assume wide tires, stock bodywork, and stock (0 to -1) camber. If you want to use wide tires, stock bodywork and stock camber, it makes sense follow them. If you buy narrower tires, roll lips, or run more camber, then you can fiddle with lower offsets.
With that in mind should I just go with the 17x8 all th way around? And just get say 235/45 tires to match? Because really I don't want to have to modify anything and I want to make my camber as close to 0 as possible without rubbing. Thanks for the input.
