Why would you want to especially if you're not lowered? However the 8.5" wide wheel isnt going to fly do those wheels in paticular no not without expecting some rubbing.

I bet you could go with the 18" wheels. The 8.5" may rub though, if you lower the car at all.

Not sure if you keep it stock height though.

I honestly don't know the width of my rims, but i have 18's wrapped in 225/40/18 Nitto Neo Gens, and they rub when cornering. Stock suspension btw.
