I have that same set up on my car except I have 275/40s on the rear. They fit perfect no rubbing issues. I have coilovers though and my car is lowerd about and inch and a half from stock.

rear will fit, but that high of offset with that much of a stretch might look kinda funky... but yes it should fit. I would go with either some spacers, or a 245 or 255 next time you buy tires.

read the first 20 pages and at that point it seemed like the jury was still out on this setup. some said yes, some said no. just want to see if any new experience info for the this combo. Will it fit?
17x8 +35, 245/40R17 All Around on KYB Adj and RSR Race Springs.
willing to roll fenders a bit and about 1* camber, if need be.
if they do fit, how would the fitment look? would the fronts stick out and rears be sunken?

those 245 are not going to fit. i think with the lower height .. the max youd be able to fit is a 235 ... i have a 225/45 and i am about 4mm from the strut

well according to Reteds chart ...... http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm
the rears are at the recommended offset and the fronts are at the minimum(flush look) but seem to work because I'm running 225 tires not 255. What do you guys think? A-Ok...or no??
Thanks,
