Will 235/45/17 and 255/40/17 fit on a S14 without rubbing?

i just bought 17x8 +25 and 17x9 +35 5Zigen FNO1r-C rims, and trying to figure out what size tires to get. 235/45/17 and 255/40/17 seems to fit the 8" and 9" width the best, but im afraid there's be gonna be rubbing issues. so anyone has experience with this setup or similar? BTW the S14 is lowered on H&R springs and tokico blue shocks.

depends how low your car is. shouldn't be major rubbing though

try 235/40/17 up front instead though.

a 45 series is a tad tall.

FYI, you might want to relocate the harness in your fender, especially if you go with the taller tire. Theres a how to on my site, http://www.sillbeer.com

You may not want to go any bigger than 225 up front, depending on your rim offset. I have a 32 offset up front with 225 tires, and they rub my splash gaurds on the bumper in tight turns.
