You can fit 255's up front easy with some bashing. Contrary to what EVERYone believes, my tubs only increase height clearence for suspension travel. Since the fender well now starts at the frame rail where the factory one starts an inch or so lower. Which means I can go lower than most and not have issues.
I've been thinking about turning my muffler into the RE-Anemiya style with a 3.5" turn down tip. Dont know why but I've loved that style of muffler since middle school. I gotta practice my SS welding first.

i think some cool stuff like that turns up on ebay sometimes.

From the maximum tire thread on zilvia, im pretty sure I can get them on there, I havent got coilovers yet, so something with the smaller 60mm is it ? springs might be my choice just for that reason, one guy is running 18x9.5 +44's, which would have a hair more backspacing than a 9+44, if anything i'll get them in that offset and run a small spacer if needed. I'm going to be trying to see if i can modify a set of bilstein pss9's to fit from another vehicle, hopefully I can get em to work.

There's a dude on ka-t.org running a muffler like that with 4 inch piping. It sounds beastly, really sleeper looking too. Kinda reminiscent of a e39 5 series bmw exhaust

Are you running an S14 rear subframe? That would give you an extra 10mil push outwards. I always forget that S13's have shallower fenders compared to S14's.
If you want to I have a spare S14 subframe and RLCA's if you wanted to go that route. It will give you better traction with all the V8 tq of yours. haha
As for the exhuast I figured I'd just cut off my current tip and weld on a Stainless 3.5" turn down and cut the angle to make it look pretty much like that FD. I dont see a point in buying a whole new muffler for just a difference in the way the tip looks. I like the way the megan muffler sounds.

The 10mm push outwards is a bit disappointing, but hey gotta deal with whats avail, too bad those enkeis arent avail in a 17x9+54
Although I suppose finding something in 17x8 + 30 and widening to 9" would be possible also
