yes...they will fit. I would go with a 255 in the rear (maybe a 275 depending on teh backspacing) and some 245's up front

Are you sure? This is my 17x8 4.5 BS. It just clears the UCA. Won't be able to squeeze another inch on there without a spacer.

Great pictures! You know the old saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words".

From what I've been able to determine, no one has been able to run these with a lowered suspension without issues-even with rolling the outer lips.

17x8 bullitts fit on my car just fine... no spacer. Should be able to do a 17x9, but again, its all about the backspacing.

17"

Are you opposed to 17x8 up front and 17x9 in the rear? If not, your problem may be solved.
