235 40 17's on 17x8's?
No you won't rub at all stock or after market coil springs. I just put some 17 * 8 Torques on today in a 235/40/17 and there is a "big" fender gap (more than stock size). You are actually going to be running a tire that is shorter than the stock diameter. Thiswill give you a slight gearing advantage.
Now of course you'll be running a wider tire than stock
but you will not rub with this size on a sedan.
Here is an something to read to reassure you.....

Good luck and lets seem them Torques!

Actually I haven't touched the fronts yet; they look okay. The rears probably didn't need near as much 'help' as I gave them.
