The wheels are 17x9 for F/R and they are 35+ offsets. What would be the

tires size to make the rear and front to sit flush with the fenders and rear

quarter? THanks much guys

If you have coilovers, those front wheels WILL NOT fit no matter what tire is on them.

If you have basic shocks/struts, then a 235/40-17 will probably fit up front...maybe a 245/40-17 can squeeze in there without the tire rubbing on the strut.

For the rear...255/40-17 would be a nice fit.
