Yeah, im pretty sure youll need 5mm spacers up front to clear the coilovers. Check with Atown 240, heres pictures of the exact same size rims you want....zerothread?id=185119

You should be fine, but check with Atown first. Hes running really stretched tires too.

Youre definately going to have to roll your fenders...
