actually, these will fit ok. i've installed turbo wheels on my car just to check. you'll need 21mm spacers to make it work. as for tires, run either a 275/35 or a 285/30. do NOT run a 275/30, it won't work right (too short a sidewall and too low a load rating). the tires will appear to stick out very slightly when installed, but as your suspension compresses, the tires will just clear the fenders.

btw, the car will actually handle better when the tires are stretched on the rim. look at race cars. you do give up some sidewall pliability, though, and hence some comfort. btw, that car in the pic with the 19's is lowered almost 2" over stock.
