The wheels fit fine in the outer fenders. But I was constantly smacking the inner fender well when I was up in the mountains and I've have it happen a few times goofing off. The car is low enough that if the wheel is turned and I hit a bump mid corner it slams. And that was with my 17x8+10's with a 235-40. I'll be using a 17x9+15 or +0 with a 245 or 255-40 tire.

I could solve this issue by raising the car but I like where its at.

You can see in this picture with the amount of camber gain under compression that it would easily hit the fender well in a corner. And thats with the wheel hardly turned in.
