Default Will these wheels fit?

I am looking at some BBS wheels right now in the following size and want to ensure they fit before I pull the trigger on the set (and if so could you recommend a tire size as well, and if there will need to be any sort of fender rolling or anything else involved)

The fronts are 17x8 +45 and the rears are 17x9 +50.

Thanks!

it will not fit without fender mod and it really depends on your rid height.

If you put tons of camber MAYBE you could slip it by. Roll the fenders and it will slide in with ease and no headaches.

You'll get slight rub, but nothing crazy. A fender roll at that point would be the right thing to do.

Great, thanks so with a fender roll I won't need to run a lot of camber right? And can your recommend a good tire size? Ideally in Dunlop Star Specs...

you shouldnt have much camber with a roll... like 1.5 degrees max, with 215s I think you could do no camber? I ran the same size/offset wheel with 225s on stock fenders and barely rubbed lowered about 1.25"
