17x9 255/40 request

i was like 13 pages deep searching numerous combos so lets not even get into the search thing

i would like for anyone who is running a 17x9 and wider with a 255/40 tire and wider. please post up some pics if ya got'em

please if you post please state the wheel sizes and if you ask a question about someone else's set up please don't quote. it makes the thread like hundreds of pages long and extremely hard to navigate through(twenty pics of the same car on every page)! make it nice short and compact so no one has to post such an easy request, they can look here and get what they want quick

thanks guys

When I had my evo I had the exact same setup as manny, it was a great fit and no rubbing issues at all.

Very nice. sadly, i won't be able to fit this onto my stock Enkeis, and the profile would just make the car look really odd since I'm still on stock Bilsteins.

Actually I run 255/40/17 Azenis 615 on stock BBS rims and they are fine.

Thanks! It looks like I'll run this size for track duty with A048 semi-slicks and coilovers when the next track season comes along!
