The 255/55R17's will sit flush with the outside of the flares. I have a 3/4 drop on mine with the R/T wheels and tires, and I think it looks mean. I can send pix if you give me your E-mail.

I have 275/50/17 on R/T wheels w/o flares and it looks fine.. they do stick out about 1/2inch. This is with a Hotchkis suspension kit.. they say a 2/4 but it's closer to 3/5. Looks fine, I like it better w/o the fender flares.
