Ok guys i searched and i couldn't find anything. I have a set of 265-40-17 tires and i need a set of wheels to put them on. Im looking at some 17x9.5+32 or 17x9+25, i know the 9.5+32 will fit but here's the thing im on stock sturts with lowering spring so idk if the tire will clear the suspension?? and the 9+25 i have no idea if they will even fit with 265-40s. BTW my fenders r rolled and rear bolt is relocated . The wheels im looking at are wedsports tc105n.

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for suggesting the 255/35s z1 starspecs for a 9" rim... Anything bigger would have not fit right. These are the perfect size.

Rotors go with GiroDisc or RacingBrake (2-piece rotors will save some weight). What are you going to be using the pads for?

I had this same set up a bit ago, the front and the rear clear fine. I had swift springs at the time, rolled the fenders and did not need to.

here is the day i mounted and got the rear rolled, you can see I had enough clearance in the back
