Inside isn't the problem. The tires I run are a full
2 inches further inboard than those are and they still clear, despite being taller as well. The problem is to the fender. That combination, if it really is a 4" backspace, will stick out a full 1/4" further than mine if the rims are sized properly for the tires, which yours aren't. Going to an 8" rim would allow the tires to reach their full section width. Sure, it might still clear if you're not lowered, but it won't even be close if you are. I can't lower any more without rolling the fender lips on my car, they're maxed out. Even set up as I am now I occasionally get a touch on the fender lip going through driveway and parking lot transitions with the wheels turned. Not enough to be an issue, but I'm at the limit. And my fenders were pulled out on all the adjustments, and with 1.12" torsion bars and a 1 1/8" front sway bar I don't get as much body to suspension movement as most folks.
All I'm saying is that you have to be careful giving recommendations like that. These cars are all a little different, and things like suspension set up and ride height make a
huge difference. If you do a search here you'll find that very few people can run a zero offset front rim with any kind of decent sized tire, even when you're talking about a 7" rim. I can tell you 100% that the combination you're running wouldn't fit either of my cars without rubbing. Not even close. If you rolled the fenders maybe, or if you raised the ride height significantly sure. But lowered much, or even with softer suspension than what I run they would rub all the time.
Does is look like there's an extra 1/4" anywhere here?
The tape measure says 5/8", which is already pushing it on the front fender clearance because of the need for clearance when the wheels are turned. But that's not the widest part of the tire either, there's less than 1/2" from the section width.
And here it is by the math. Which is a little wrong, because it's not accounting for your tires being squeezed onto rims that are smaller than the recommended size. But that would change if 17x8's were used. These are comparing the specs between our tires and rims, which combination is "#1" and which one is "#2" is swapped between these two pictures to show both the fender and suspension clearance because of the way this tool compares them. It doesn't list the difference on the narrower tire, it just say "clear" in the dimension that gives more clearance. It also says things are "acceptable" if they're a small change, but that doesn't account for the first combination already being maxed out.
