That setup can be bolted to the car, but I would argue that a stock ride height car plus stretched tires on wheels that stick out of the fenders does not look nearly as good as a wide wheel/tire combo that fits cleanly under the fender.
Gotcha, I was thinking the stock ET for the rear was closer to that. Just found that the stock ET is 52 in the rear for the M261 wheels.

As for the fronts, im seeing that stock is an ET49, will the ET45 of this wheel cause any issues? What is the widest tire that can be run on stock suspension?
