I called them earlier, along with another company... evasive said gtc01's typically aren't stocked and will take a few months to get them. If I'm not mistaken, tirerack has them in stock in other sizes, but I don't know if I want a different size. I kinda liked the idea of being able to rotate tires...

 

It's not uncommon to have to wait for wheels which fit our cars.

 

I understand having to wait, but would rather not have to I'll keep looking and see what I come up with.

 

17x9.5 +38 are available. Too wide for the front? 17x8.5 +35 are available. Too close to stock? Could probably fit a 255 on the 8.5, but doesn't allow for much wider if needed down the road...

 

You were concerned with a 17x9 +40 fitting, so you'll have more concerns with a 17x9.5 +38. You need to decide what you want, and how long you are willing to wait to get what you want. IMO, I would make sure whatever you order is "exactly" what you want, not what "will do".

 

Good point. That's about all I can say there...
