If you run skinny tires, add neg camber and/or roll the fenders it will work. Not a very good set up, but you could make it work.

run 2-2.5 degrees of negative camber in the back and roll your rear fender. you can still use 255 tires in the back

I would just say there are a lot better options for wheels.

You will have rubbing with both the front and back with that set up if you don't run neg camber and roll your fenders. Please read --> https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=342793 This will give you an idea of what fits and what doesn't. Tire sizes also play a large part in if it will fit or not. Again, much better options out there.

Smallest tires you could fit on an 8" rim in front are 215 and your offset is 4mm off so neg camber might fix that. Rear you are looking at 245 which is only 1mm off. But to keep the stock stagger (this is something you do want to do) and to optimize your 9" wide rear rim you would want 255 which is 6 mm off. Rolling your fenders and some neg camber should do the job. A couple mm sounds like it isn't an issue but it definately makes a difference.

Better off just buying rims that fit without messing with the car.

I think that would be a better idea. Those sizes and offsets would have been tough.
