If all goes well they will clear my coilovers and big brakes. I'm installing Tein Flex in a week or so, so I'll let you know!

JAE is around July 25th.

To get back to this... nope, I don't think they'll clear. I thought they would, but it's too tight. Without tires, there's only about 3mm of space left, which is too little for the tires to fit. Here's some pics:

As you can see I can barely put my little finger in between them.

A 7.5J rim width would be better, or an 8.0J wheel with +33 offset (but then it'll stick out past the fender). Either way, I'm not pleased ](*,)

I think you should be o.k,if the rim clears without the tyre then it should clear with.I've got the same width and offset as you a with a 225 profile tyre and the rim sticks out further than the tyre on the inside.The wheels are off my car at the moment i'll try and get you a picture.

Actually on stock suspension you've got a little more space, look at these pics I took before mounting the Teins:

I could, but then I would have rather ordered +30 on the wheels.
