The 255/45/17 - no rub at all -
works great!! Hope this helps -

How much did you pay for them without the tires??
Oh yeah, what type of rubber did you stick on those beauties?
EDIT:
HOLY CRAP. I looked at the prices on them. The way I'd want them set up it'd be almost $1500. 17x8 in the front, 17x10 in the rear. The rubber would be expensive as hell too!!

Only wish I had got them after I decided on offset T-arms, then I would have gone for 17x10 on the rear.Cheers

The wheels came to $869 and with the tires the total was $1531 - Not bad - from discount tire direct - the tires are Yokahama - Yokohama AVS dB S2 - 255/45/17 - 8 inch on both so I could rotate. - I went with those because the road noise would be a little less than the BFGoods, so I was told. Plus I read a lot of good reviews on the tires. Very happy with them!!

To get 17x10s in the rear, would I have to get those Offset trailing arms to get them to fit right?
I recently had to replace the passegner's side trailing arm, and I had thought about getting those 2" offset ones, but I didn't.
