alright. so i'll be going 245/40/17's. i wanna keep 17's.

With that offset, you'd probably max out at a 245/35/18, depending on which coilovers you run. A narrow 245 would clear no problem (just like these are narrow 225's), but a 255 might be pushing it. You could always space out a touch if necessary with some 3 or 5mm spacers.

245 is probably the widest i'll go.
