springs and 255/40 tires
I have the Falken Azein rt-615 255/40 17 tires. I am on stock suspension except for 25mm rear sway.

I was considering springs, mostly swifts. I wanted to know if there are any issues in combing the springs with my setup. Will I get any rubbing, etc.
Thanks for the help

The stock wheel size is 17X8 with like a +38 offset (or something close to that). I'm running 17X8.5 with a +30 offset with falken 615s in a 255/40 and s-tech springs with no probs. I did have to mod the rear fender lip though.
