Spring, tyre & wheel combo??

Alright Guys, Just a few q's about springs and wheel/tyre combo's.

I use my EVO IX a daily and thinking of going for 17x9 +35 Rota DPT with the fat tyre look. (also hoping this will keep the ride decent with slightly lowered springs).

As for springs i was leaning towards Eibach pro but im now also contemplating the Swift springs. (A fair few of you guys seem to be using these but i dont know much about them)

Will running 17x9 +35 with 265/40/17 on either of these springs require much fender,camber work ect. Or should they fit alright?

Also i know 275/40/17 will definately be a stretch but just wondering if many of you are running these (photo's ??) and what work was required as i really like the look of this Black IX i seen earlier.

Cheers,

get the swift spec r's. eibachs arent that great for evo's. and 265's will be very close in the rear. at most, a slight roll. i have 255's on +30 17x9's and the rears just touch over big dips in the road. not even enough to leave a mark on the tires.
