I've got some wide arches to fit as well which will help I hope.
No worries bud, although I suspect that you are going to ask me if a 275/40/17 will fit Answer is yes but you will very likely rub badly with that width/offset even with a full arch roll. May work ok with standard ride height (do rev 1 springs sit the car a little higher than the rev 3 springs?) and extra negative camber. Unfortunately the only sure way to find out is to try it and see. 275/40/17 would look pretty awesome I bet
I got the tyres dirt cheap (pair of new kumho ecsta sports for £50!) so willing to take the risk. I've got HSD coilovers, not sure if that'll make it better or worse? As it's only a track car, I'm also happy to roll/cut the arches to suit as I have wide arches to fit over the top.
Will have to see what happens really.
