Pic Request: 235 tires in front (FC)

My 8x17"+35 9x17"+34 wheels will arrive soon from japan, so I'll have to buy tires soon.
I read that 235 sometimes fit in front, I'd love to put 235 in front too.
So please post pics of FC's with 235 tires in front, with detailed wheel, tires, suspension,... specs if possible.
I want to see how it looks like

I had 235 / 45 / 17 on 17" x 8.0", +30 Work Equip's, and they would rub in the inside fender well on steering lock.
8.0", +35 is going to be mighty tight up front...

thanks Ted !

The wheels arrived today.
I forgot to say...I have a stock type suspension (RSR-Race springs+KYB AGX) and stock fenders.

I think I'll get 225,...to be on the safe side, or if someone can show me pics with 235's that clear the fender and spring perfect....then I'd think about it again and probably get 235.
235 would be better because I want the same sized tires in the rear,...235's wouldn't be as stretched like 225's...

@owen is fat:
which one has 235 in front?...there are alot of pics

cool thanks,...that's perfect to compare, because it's exactly the same wheel size and offset.
It looks pretty good, pretty tight...but good, too bad you have no close up and detail pics.
But I still don't know, my car is a little lower than yours....I think I will buy 225 for now...if there is enough room, than my next tires will be 235's
