Nice looking wheels. How much clearance between the tires and the strut/shock body with the +35 offset?

255/40-R17 Toyo RA-1 on 17x9 +35. Plan on rolling fenders and going wider.

about the width of the flat part of a 10mm wrench. It's pretty close but like I said the Pilot Sport Cups are much bigger than their 255 name suggests, almost like a 275.
