I've searched, a lot, but I couldn't find any information on my question.
I just ordered 17x9.5 +15 mb battles, my tire goal is 255/40/17 on the rear and 235/40/17 up front. My question is will I have any rubbing issues on my stock 95 SE with this combo? Thanks

Depends on how low you are. If you're on coilovers, you're gonna need a roll up front. The rears are gonna need both a roll and a pull. The amount of pull will depend on how much negative camber you wanna use. But you can do it.

On KYB's you're not likely to need a pull since you aren't low enough for the fenders to rub. To be on the safe side, better make sure you have good sway bars and strut bars to keep the body from rolling too much. Too much body roll and your fenders will contact tires for sure because this setup is gonna be poking out a little bit.
