Are these too big for my anorexic car?
I found a wicked set of 17*8 with a 35 offset with 235/40/17 tires on it...think they'll fit without rubbing or very little...will they fit in the fenders...or do I have to roll them...or can I just go with a lower profile tire?

i think that might be too much. i test fitted my new rims on my car today and they were close. i have 17X7 40mm offset with 215/40/17. they had less than an inch of clearance on the inside and since i need to get new lugs i didnt get to see how close they are to the fender.

ya I was thinking of 17*7 with 205/40/17 but I just can't find any wheels that I like...especially for the price of these wheels...don't suppose theres anyother way that I can get these beats wheels to fit? think 205 with fit on these 17*8?
