The chance of being able to run that wheel on a stock fendered car are slim to nil, even with work. I'd run or try to run it on my widebody though. That's a gnarly wheel for sure.

Wheel well's the same on 8/9.

Post a pic of the wheel, does it clear the brakes?

I haven't tried it out yet, I imagine so due to the fact that the 17x10 +12 is the most concave of all fno1rc's. I will attempt the swap over this weekend if I can swing tires. the 275/45s slicks will not work out haha

It will fit if you don't lower your car.

If you want to lower your car, prepare to PULL your rears at least 20mm to clear. Just a warning, pulling 20mm could be a costly mistake.

Im grabbing some tires today, so this will go down Friday when I make it back to NY. I plan on lowering my car but after a little wide body and paint so I should be good to go.

I am throwing them on tomorrow wish me luck. Then going to get tuned, again wish me luck lol I am trying to source a nice suspension setup right now. But already spoke to my buddy and we can pull those fenders outward of 25-30 mm.

I don't know about you guy but I'm excited hopefully going to make some decent numbers.

Finally.

Im running a 245 for the time being. They fit and look insane, I have now made my choice on wide body so step by step this car should come together. I am going to pull the fenders today if i get a chance after I fix this customers WRX.

Please no flaming on tires, Cooper Tires is one of my sponsors and these are the ones they sent me when I asked for tires for my daily.

That will not fit unless you do as the last person says and modify things so much that your car won't be a performer anymore.

I have 17x9.5 +25 with 255 tires and that is right at the limit I think. More than that and you won't be stock body anymore.

And evo 7-9 are all the same body (chassis). CT9A

absolutelty no rubbing at all? Even with passengers and aggresive driving? What is your suspensinon setup? If that is the case you got everyone beat at the Ultimite aggresive thread....surely you must have some work done on the fenders.
