yes.
48 offset.
255 you will need to roll the rears.

53 offset works too, but you may need a 5 mil spacer in the rear.

I have some 5mm spacers I don't need anymore. 255/40-17 on 17x8.5 SSR GT2's sticks out almost 2" on my '95 coupe. It's hacksaw time. And time for smaller tires.

whats the offset of the wheels are you looking at? More than likely you wont need a roll, what size tires were you planning on running too? a 235/40/18 would work fine for you or a 245/35/18.
