I doubt it because they are wider by about 0.5" but smaller diameter by 3 tenths of an inch.

Yup im running stock rims and im lowered so i will see if rubs but if im correct i will not due to i went with a 35 profile instead of a 40 profile. BUT when i hit bumps or a big enough roll in the road the rear tires DO hit the quarter panels untill i get them rolled. Lowered on the stock 225/40/18 hit the quarters in ther rear on big bumps.

That turbo by the time it was in my hands with the polished compressor housing and coated exhaust housing and the heat shield 1500us. Only thing with the turbo it it is external wastegate. I have been talking with synapse turbo to see if they can put an external wastegate flange to run a Tial Wastegate with dump tube. That is my project to accomplish external wastegate.

245 with 35 series is the widest and that is super close. any wider and its 100% rub on stock rims that is not sure if you got aftermarket wheels with a different off-set.
