tire fitment on an s14

well ive decided to go with the Work Emotion CR-Kai 17x9 +17 all around on my s14 and i want Falkan Azeni RT-615 tires 255/40 ZR17.

my question is how bad will a 255 tire rub in the front i know 255 will be fine in the rear but not sure about the front.

i was hoping with +17 offset it will only rub on the fender and all i need to do is roll the fender a bit im just hoping it dosnt rub the wheel well

you should get 235's all around for the stretch and it wont rub at all.

yeah, a stagger in tire size would be the easiest solution. You need to pull on your front fenders quite a bit to get that to clear to the point of being a front widebody. I would run a 235 as there is really not much reason for a 255 up front.

255 is freaking huge. anywhere from 215 to 245 will fit nicely because of manufacturers measurement difference.

edit, whoops didnt see you already had a tire in mind, i dont have experience with azenis so disregard this post.
