I have almost the same size on my car, but with 7.5 in front. Check out my post on the west classified if you wanna see pics of it.

What springs are you using up front ? If its stock style Pig tale you might rub a little with a 225-45-17 add a 3mm spacer and youll be fine.

If yoru running a coilover type spring 2.5" ID then your fine.

Those are pig style springs, So with the 225-45-17 there is chances of you rubbing.

So at worst you need a 3mm spacer .

Should be fine...
Stock is 7.0", +40, so that's 2mm deeper inside than your wheels.
So the 7.0", +38 will sit 2mm farther out than the stock wheels.

Even with the 225 / 45 / 17, it should fit fine.

With the 9.0", +35, you can go with a 255 / 40 / 17.
