size looks familiar, are these fn's? My buddy runs 215/45/17's on his 17x9 fn's with no issues, not sure what size would be the best for grip, 235/45 front, 255/40 rear maybe?

Good setup, the front might give you some fitment issues if you are excessively lowered.

those are the sizes I am planning on running my 17x9 +20 on my S14. Will I have to roll fenders? I'm on coilovers, so I'm kinda low, but not sitting on the ground.
