I like a look like this.
edit:
Also, like this look with no fender modification, rolling, etc..

I certainly see what you like, youre more on the stance fit & Im way over on the aggressive function side.
Have you gone through the Stance thread in show/shine? It has a lot of examples of what can be done in that style

Yes, a 17x9 wheel can accept the following tires sizes (235-265)

Thanks for the compliment, but there are a number of good wheel / tire guys here. Ive just put the effort in to "man the thread"

Running a 245/40 should fit w/out the need to roll but you may have to run some additional rear camber not to exceed -1.8 degrees

sorry here I am again
I'm really thinking trying to keep the car stock without rolling or spacers but pushing the rubber out to the max I can use. So I'm thinking a set of RPF1 17x8.5 +30. But, how far with rubber can I go without rubbing ie 245/40 245/45 or 255/40?

Have you looked at the 5zigen FN01R? 17x9 +35. Now that wheel could be run w/out a roll!!! (still recommend a roll) (depending on tire size). See example below

Here's my Evo VII with 17x8.5 +30 RPF1's and 235/45/17 tires. The fit is spot on with -1.5 camber all around and a mild drop on BC coilovers. Front is totally fine as is the rear but if it was lowered more it would be close. I think the 245/255 would need the rear rolled unless you went really aggressive on the camber.
Hope that helps.

BTW. I like what youve done. Looks very clean & tastefully done

Great thanks That's exactly what I am looking for, I have a spare set of 235/45 track tires to set it up at the start so I'll check the clearances and when I wear those out I might take a chance and go with 245/40 rubber. I am at stock height so hopefully will fit

Looking for the right size tire for a set of street wheels I have. 18x9 +25 Rota G-force. I confirmed the fitment and get no rubbing on the 225 45 18 that were mounted when I got them, confirmed on coilovers and MR Bilsteins with Swifts. They also clear the front Brembo without issue.
Tires maybe have 2k on them, I never intended to run that tire anyway but were included in the sale however funny thing is though they don't look stretched on the wheel at all, they def don't corner on their sidewalls like other silliness I've seen, but either way they're cracking something terrible prob from not using them or **** federal tires who knows.
Not looking to do much if any fender work at all the rear quarters in my car are factory flawless and I don't know or trust anyone within 500 miles of here to even think about it.
That said I'd like to fit a 255/35 but in reading and measuring it may not work, however a 245/35... Thoughts? Minus?
Car is on a new set of coilovers now and also new aftermarket adjustable LCA's
