That's the size tire I want as well. The pros have recommended 8.0" (or 8.5" rim if you want the stretched look for some pointless reason). Ideal ET is 35.. with a rear fender roll![]()

I am currently rebuilding a set of 3 piece rims and trying to determine how much my rim can go past the outside of my fenders without rubbing. I have rolled and pulled all four fenders. My current set up I want to run I have measured that the outside of the rim will protrude past the front and rear fenders by 3/4".
Rim specs will be
Front 17x8-1/2" et 14
Rear 17x8-1/2" et 1
Planning to run 215-40's all around

I don't know how much poke has to do with rubbing vs tire size and how low you are!
et1 is going to be a lot of poke. I am running 17x9 et 15 on pulled and rolled fenders and I have about 15 to 20mm poke. So poke will be close to mine if you do the math.
oh yeah I am also running 215 x 40 on the 9 and have a 1 finger gap. It rubs on bumps, potholes at 30+ MPH
