No, offset problem. My BBS RE's are 50mm. I prob need in the 42mm range. Looking at these: Sparco Racing made by Enkei. $121 at Discount. I knew that as soon as I got my 255's they wouldn't fit. I'd rather have forged and not sure how much these weigh.
i'd say you should be in the 45-42 range... i run a +48 on my 245/45-17x8 setup and i have no strut rubbing problems... little on the fenders in the rear, but that's to be expected. as for spacers, i think you can order small ones in universal 5-lug sizes from checker with fast turnaround.
Went to Checker. They had no idea. Went to MAS and bought some spacers that don't fit. Discount can't get the wheels here in time for me to make it to RA this weekend. Broke down and bought a set of 235/40/18's. Anyone looking for a set of 255's?
WRX? I don't know how easy it would be to fit 255's on any WRX without a low offset and fender rolling or very stiff springs and an appropriate ride height.
You can do it... it's all about the right offset and rolling the fenders. i got my 245s on with stock suspension and alignment just by rolling the rear fenders a little. 255s on stock would need some more rolling, but it MIGHT be possible. Otherwise, a little more camber and you should be fine.
