I'm at a loss here. Can't seem to make up my mind.

Here's the situation: I'm running XXR 527 9.75 wheels on a 5 lug conversion with no spacer. Tires are 235/40/17 and are hard to find and expensive, so I plan to upgrade to a wider, more common size. The fitment is a bit too tight for my liking. Keep it mind I live in Canada and I wan't to drive the car hard, not just to car shows.

Fenders have been slightly rolled and camber has been set up to fit the wheel wells.

I prefer function over form, so rear wheel camber is not really my thing.

What would guys do: roll the fenders, add overs or flares, raise the car. I'm open to all possible options.
