Thanks...

I guess styling and to clear my BBK... Car is plenty fast with aftermarket exhaust and modified ECU...
Just DD right now. No tracking. I also ordered extended wheel bolts/black lugs and upgraded rear rotors/pads... Will be upgrading lines also to SS.

So will those tires fit?

Yep, like I said, as long as you're on aftermarket coilovers, that wheel/tire combo should fit fine. But if you're not, I haven't actually looked into detail of whether your offsets would fit, but with 9.5 and 255 tires, I'm 99% doubtful it would clear stock suspension. I run 18x8.5 ET 38 with 235's all around and they clear the stock struts no problem, but get somewhat close at the front.
