Yes with hub spacers or a proper offset..

BUT..

The Front tires will most likely rub, and they'll stick out of the fender, which in most states is illegal and will not pass inspection.

This might or might not help you out.

Yes, they will fit.
No, you don't need spacers.
You will need to roll the fender flanges and you may have rubbing issue with lowered suspension and corrected camber.

No one ever answers?

Odd, I have 235/45's and they're right at the fender.. I'd have figured anything bigger would stick out..

Best tool ever to answer this question.



It's easily found in the Suspension FAQ under "More Knuckle Clearance Detail".

Why is that not allowed if jacked up trucks with tires the size of the world largest pumpkin allowed on the road?

I use 245/45-16's on my GSX. They JUST barely stick out. No rubbing. May or may not pass a safety test in a state that has such a thing. I remember hearing that in the People's Communist State of PA that it's illegal if the tread is visible from straight overhead. Visible sidewall is supposedly OK.
