With a substantial fender roll both front and rear, yes. Assuming 245 or 255 tire and some camber.

The reason I am asking is I am interested in Work MCO Racing rims, they have 17 by 9, ET42 and the tires I wanna buy is star spec zii 255 rear. Billman rolled my fenders, but not totally bent inside. I can run -2.5 for rear if that's a necessity.

It is 3mm more aggressive than 17x9 +45, which is probably the most widely used sizing on S2ki.

Soooo, there's plenty of info out there that renders this thread obsolete.

I think you'd need a little more aggressive roll if it's not fully flushed. You might be able to get away with it with a 245 tire and -3.0 camber. Even a +49 requires a roll and camber with a 255 tire, and then you're adding 7mm to that. That said, the fronts are the real concern. Are you lowered and if so by how much?

I mean these are +50..and they stick out pretty bad with a 255 tire, all 4 fenders look flared. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/wheels-t...-rare-1167406/

I'd assume he is lowered since he asked about them fitting with Eibach springs. You need the fenders rolled flat and you will likely need a pull. I ran 17x9 +43 in front with a 245/40/17 and it needed a pull. The rears should be fine if they are rolled flat and the tab is relocated.
