I think it's too tight up front.
It'll hit everything on the inside.

Good eye...
It looks like Volk Racing TE-37's in front, and Advan RG's in the rear.

yea thats a bit too tight for the front.. I put a 17x9" 22mm with a 275/40/17 on front with my coilovers. so with some slight spacers you could probly get er done.

With a 17x9.5 and 22mm offset, the clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 14mm LESS than a stock 16x7 turbo wheel.

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 50mm from what a stock 16x7 turbo wheel ends at.
