That diameter is going to be a problem, I think. I read a lot of people had rubbing issues (Chad comes to mind) with 235's. My 215/40 tires barely clear in the front.
Though, I'd love to hear if you find a good solution to this. I wanted to run 235 front and 265 rear.
I have 225 -40 R-6 on 17x8, not sure how much taller you can go and clear the frame.
I'm running the 235/40/17 Federal 595 RS-R front on a 17x8 +35. I've increased the front caster with the "free caster mod". I only rub on the front swaybar when I'm nearing full left lock.

thx guys I thought I saw that front used.
I'm also using 325/40/17 without the caster mod. Front left has 1/8 clearance at full lock. Front Right hits the firewall, but barely.

I haven't fit the fenders yet, so I don't know if they clear there.
