Tire size
I searched quite a bit, and didn't find anything conclusive.
I have 17X8 in wheels
I am currently running 215/45/17 and I would like to go wider but not to the point where the tires start bulging.
I am thinking 225/45/17 would be my best bet.
It looks like a 235/40/17 would be about right as well, but im not sure if it would bulge
I don't mind rolling the fenders and usng 1/4 to 1/2 in spacers if I have to.

I would love to run a larger wheel and tire combo, once I can scrape together the cash. I think have read that you can get a 9 inch tire in the rear, but I would assume you cant get much more than an 8 inch in the front without wide body fenders. What do you run?

No such thing as a 275/35/17 as far as I've ever seen. The standard size is 275/40/17, which is taller than stock.
IIRC someone's fitted 255/40/17's in front on rolled stock fenders using coilovers. I think it was on a 30mm offset 17x8.5, but don't take my word for it.

275/35/17 are a manufactured tire, I know at least toyo makes them. They are not a very common size at all. The just seem nice because they would be about the same height as stock.
For now I think I'm just going to go with the 225s.
Once I wear them out hopefully I will have enough scratch to get some wide body fenders and new wheels. Maybe next year.

Right, trust Toyo to make odd sizes, but I'd rather avoid backing myself into a corner with a tire size available from only one brand, possibly only made in one of their models.
