Re: Tire size
Stock tires on the SS and WS6 models were 275/40-17. Stock SS/WS6 wheels are 17x9.0" 50mm offset. Your setup moves the outside edge of the tires about 0.40" towards the outer edge of the fender.
I've run 17x9.5" 49mm offset, and even with the front end dropped about 1.5", the only time the tire rubbed on the inner fender liner was when hitting a bump at full lock. You're adding about 0.12" to the frontspace compared to my setup, so if the car isn't lowered, you would likely only have a minor problem (if any) on a hard bump with the wheels turned.
Next time you post a tech question, use one of the "tech" forums. Not everyone comes to look at "New Member Intro" posts. And there's not many of us left on this site.
