a) OEM Dunlop 235/45/17s ?
b) brand-TBD 255/40/17s ?
c) 265-anything?
Because of the low +35 offset, I think you'll have to roll with anything larger than 235/45R17, and you MIGHT have to roll even with the 235 once the car is lower. For an easier time fitting larger tires, get a higher offset wheel. (+42 would be better, hint, hint.)
