From my calcs, it shouldn't be. A 17x9 +42 with a 245/40/17 Dunlop Z1 fits snugly up front (only a few mm between the perch and the tire), but you'll have issues dialing in any sort of camber.

Thankfully, in STX, your options are open - you can take camber *out* with the lower bolts and then use camber plates up top. A bit more expensive, but certainly less expensive than coilovers.
