with H&R lower kit 2.2F and 1.6R, what's the perfect side wall for D-force 17" 8.5 rims front and rear without rub?

im thinking for front 235/40, rear 255/40, will it rub?

I'd probably just stick with a square wheel and tire fitment, and if you're not looking to encounter any rubbing issues or possibly roll your fenders, 225/45/17 should work.

can i fit 225 on 8.5 rims?

Yes, you can easily fit a 225 on an 8.5.

245/40 all around. Might be a bit tight up front depending on the tire (Starspecs, and other oversized tires may rub a bit at stock camber, more "normal" width 245s may be AOK). But the cost of adding some camber or rolling fenders (if necessary) is easily covered by the benefit of being able to rotate tires.

N54

May I ask what the DCT in your name stands for? I got confused by your name and your avatar. Lol! Sorry I can't help with the side wall question.

I was under impression, as were the rest of us I think, that you couldn't get the DCT until 2011 (aka an N55).

Have a look at the D-force wheels with Michelin PSS 245/40/17 in this thread:

It will depend on the drop and how much camber you want to run. If you choose other tires it may be closer to the fender, because the 245/40/17 size Michelin PSS isn't a very wide tire. For the Michelin PSS there isn't a big difference between 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. You still need camber plates if you want any 245/40/17 on the front.
