235 or 255 front with stock camber

I looked at the sticky at top to see what people are running. A few people seem to be running 255/35/18 or 255/40/18 on 8.5" ET40 rims. But they either have more negative camber or a fender roll. I have neither.

I will have stock camber and I am unsure if 255/40/17 on a 8.5x17 ET40 wheel will work without rubbing. Unless some can chime in and let me know this would work, I will likely run 235/40/17 tires instead.

With stock camber, go with the 235's for sure.

For 255s we needed camber and aggresive fender rolling (on 17x8.5 et 38)
