Will 255/40/17 fit without rubbing?

Much thanks.
Bolt them up, see how much room you have?
Agreed. My tire guys were not sure if 255s would fit on my car, nor was APEX certain. They fit, but if they didn't, I would have just gone down a hair.... That said, with 255s up front, I've got to be unreasonably pushing the car before it wants to under-steer very slightly.

This is NOT a track car, however, so take that for what it's worth.

My E46 was a track car and even with ZSP suspension, it would under-steer at the track, on the street or even in the garage if I looked at it the wrong way...
