    235 / 40 ?

    Hey guys.
    Im running 16x8 205/45
    I would like to go 235 / 40 in preparation for my s50 swap. I would like a little more meat on the ground.

    Im wondering if i could hit that set up without rubbing issues whatsoever.
    I would try to avoid any major camber and of course Im against adding fender flares.
    My current suspension is h&r in the front. Vogtland in the rears. billies all around. With a 15mm spacer in the rear to raise it.

    Thanks for the advice.

      Running 235/40/17 all around on staggered set of M Systems 17x8 and 9. Converted the sedan to full 5 lug E30 M3 suspension and with Bilstein and H&R sports I've got slight passenger rear inner fender lip rub on compression at speeds above 40 mph. I just need about another 1/4 inch taken out of the inner lip and all will be good.

      The inner lip on my car takes out a good 3/8+ of clearance on both sides. I think just flattening the inner lip tighter against the outer lip will do it.
