But I have not rolled my fenders, and I am not sure I am going to any time soon. Please help PM me
Go with a 255/40/17 in the front and a 275/40/17 in the rear if you want to go as wide as you can with commonly available sizes. For a more realistic, and easier to fit, fitment go with a 235/40/17 in the front and a 255/40/17 in the rear. I am running 235/40/17 ra1's on my 9" wide track wheels right now and I wouldn't say there is any stretch, just a bit under-square. No matter what you will need either wide fenders or a healthy pull. I pulled mine to clear the 17x9 +12's all around, but it wasn't easy.
