255's will fit with stock suspension on 17x9's like the Mach V. in fact, my mach V's show up today. See my last blog entry on wheel fitments. we used a 949 wheel with spacers to create the right offset. but it fits for sure.

I've searched the wheel thread and if you read, they are actually 17x8 and not 17x9 for the RFP1's.
Only the Mach V's seem to fit right now and none of them fit with a 255 tire. Everyone seems to say they rub.
EDIT: Just so everyone is on the same page, the big problem right now with 17x9's and 255 tires is the spring coils themselves. With a 255 tire, the sidewalls will actually rub against the coil when the tire compresses under deflection. So while people have fitted them on the car, under loads they start to rub. People with coilovers are able to get around this because the spring coils are smaller then stock. Thats why I want to confirm fitment on stock suspension.
