Hell, my buddy had to roll his rear fenders to keep from rubbing at stock height, with the wheels I'm selling, and those sit 1/2" inboard, and were running a 245.

Herrafrush is not a game I like playing........too many compromises on a DD car. I'm sure you can make it fit, but you're going to have to go to smaller tires, more camber than you want, destroy your fenders, lift your car, or a combo of all 4.Not trying to be a dick, I wish you luck.......but that's a lot of wheel to buy and *then* ask how to make it fit.
Assuming his coilovers have high spring rates and allow significant height adjustment, couldn't he just jack the car up high enough that the existing tires stick out below the fender and never come into contact with it? Then he could skip the excessive camber, fender rolling and having to buy new tires?

I remember seeing an old BMW 2002 that ran this type of setup at a track day at RFR.
