I think I would be more worried about Coilover clearance no? Also can you run 255's up front?

That depends on camber. I loaned out my 17x9s for a Proam event happening today, so these pics are taken with my 18x8.5 +32.

My fingers are up to the second knuckle and have room to spare from the coilover, which seems to be about 3/8" closer to the wheel than the body at this point.


Here's the clearance to the control arm. My fingers are up at the first knuckle and they are squished. I think 2 fingers at the second knuckle would be a more appropriate measurement.


And, with a 17" wheel both of these measurements will be a bit different, as the coilover and control arm are sloped away from the center of the wheel. So maybe a 17x10 +43 wouldn't fit.
