Honestly I am on the fence with the stuff. My roof is dipped black and I love it. And I'm also thinking about dipping my whole truck when the time comes. But on the other hand, if done wrong can look cheesy and cheap.

My 17x7.5 Sport Edition SE-16s. Originally black with a machined lip, dipped them gold with the True metallic Vintage Gold dip and a nice coat of Glossifier. I absolutely love them.

It'll only void the warranty on your stock suspension. IMO as long as it's not the engine or electronics go for it.

Useless question without more info. You can't even fit 205 tires with a 7.5 wheel with 3mm offset.
You NEED to spend the time through all the pages if you are so concerned about making something fit.
Someone could say, "yeah I did 245s on 7.5 without spacers". But that would not confirm that it will work for you.
To fit 245s with 7.5 wheels without spacers, you will need an approx offset of 30-35mm offset.
But please take the time to read a little and understand why.
(Sorry if I started off snarky, been a 14 hour work day, and I'm cranky.)

I have 7.5 wheels with 40 mm offset with 215's and they rubbed the coilovers until I put 4mm spacers one.
But my 3" drop put my coilovers in harms way. If you are sticking with stock coilovers or even lowering springs, 235s should be ok with the 40mm offset. I'd stay away from 245's. although I'm sure they could fit with the right spacers.
Also, not all tires are created equal. Some have more rubber sticking out passed the sidewall than others.

Shame on them. You do understand that the sidewall number is a % of the tire width?
For example, 200/50 would have 100mm sidewalls.
So 45 sidewall on a wide 235, will be a very tall tire.
If you want 40 wall, you shouldn't settle for 45 because a company is lacking in the skills to mount a common size tire. IMO. And if you are going to settle for 45, tell them you will only get them at a huge discount. Otherwise you'll go get some 40 wall at full price somewhere else.

I am running eibachs with a 235/45/17 on a 38 e/t. No rubs. I will say there may be 10mm from sidewall to strut. I originally wanted 255's but soon fonud that was not going to happen without spacers. I like the battle stance. Not the useless stance. But to each their own.
