RE: 255 40 zr17 tires
Call a tire shop and give them the sizes, they can give you a size in inches so you can measure your fender wells. Is you car stock ride height, or is it lowered? Mine is lowered 1.5 and I run 235/45's on 17x9's. The front left rubs at full lock.

I would still check the clearance before having them mounted. I want to say that my fender is like 31 inches from the ground, it may a be tad more, and I have 1 fingers width between tire and fender with the 235/45's.

too small... a 255/40/17 is a 25" tire. you want to go with a set of 245/45/17's which are 25.6 and exact to stock dimensions.... and they will clear as well
TwoToneVert... any time you have questions about tire sizes and fitment.... send people my way. Tire shops usually have their heads up the asses and have no clue wtf is going on!
