Depends what you mean by "fit"...

To make it so that the wheel and tyres can completely disappear into the guard without touching, you will either need to do:

1. guard rolling AND lots of negative camber

2. a little bit of guard flaring

by fit i dont mean for it to get under the guards, it ok sticking out, but i dont want rubbing issues and it hitting guards and things like that.

im sure they will fit well and look very sexy, but is it going to run badly???

wil be nuts, and will fit fine, just dont go wild on the tyre width, thats where u have rubbing issues. if u are more interested in looks go with a 255/35 (if u can get it) or a 255/40. that will give u decent traction, look nuts, and wont have clearance issues.

if u wanna go as wide as possible my reccomendation would be to get ur hand on some 2nd hand 18'" tyres, even if they are worn out, something 255 or bigger, take out ur suspension, fit the wheels, then push the wheel up through its arc and see if it scrubs and how much clearance u have at the tightest point. this will tell u how wide u can go on ur car as every car is different.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
