They should not rub at all in the rear. The front...meh...a friend of mine ran 17x9 with 275's up front and the rim rubbed on his coil over strut. It might clear a stock strut. We simply ran a small spacer on there...problem solved. Get him down to 400 or 450 tho.

Rears should clear by a mile. Fronts may rub depending on the ride height.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Inspect those Sumitomo tires really well before buying. They are real bad about seperating. Not very good tires at all. Expect to change them sooner than later.

Guess you answered your own question. No, they won't fit.

You can try a spacer up front to get the wheel out just a touch so you can maybe get the center cap on. I have no clue if this works, but it's just a thought I came up with and may try with my car.

Will it fit without the dust cap? In other words is it the dust cap or the diameter of the center of the rotor?

Just depends on how big of a spacer you get. I would say that you don't need longer studs on something like 1/8" but 1/4" you may want to. As I said before, I have no clue if this all works out. So, if you try it, let us know lol
