A 235/40 is actually a little bit shorter than the stock size on an EX. And the width is not impossible I had 17x7.5 wheels with a 45mm offset. hope this helps.

Rep Power: 0 Not in the car. I am a professional driver and race a lot of stuff I dont do any club racing or autocrosses. I did run one autocross last year in a 125 shifter kart and I won the Goveners cup.
