Hey i'm sorry if this has been covered on the forums but i have a question on fitment.. I just recently bought some MBmotoring Weapons (17x9 +17) and i want to have a little meatier tires than stock atleast, but i'd like to stretch the sidewalls. I don't want to be rubbing the fenders either. anyone have any idea whats a good size? i was thinking 235/40/17 but those were just my thoughts. let me hear your input.
thanks
thanks

Without pulled or flared fenders, the +17 offset may be a problem in front unless you have coilovers and can -2 degrees or more camber in front.
Rear should fit in the back with a fender roll.
I run 17X9 +24 with 235/40/17 all around. There is no rubbing in back and I just did a front fender roll.

i'd be too afraid to roll my fender with a bat. i have no idea on how to do it lol would 225/40/17 be a good size all the way around to have the stretch look?

The bat was quicker than using a fender roller. It took me 30 seconds per side. most body shops can do it for you for between $50 and $100 bucks.
255/40/17 will fit in front, but you will need about -2 degrees camber and coilovers for extra clearance, as well as a fender roll. The wheels need to be in the 17X9 +24 range.
