YUP, they should fit as long as you have coilovers, after market trailing arms, and rolled fenders.
I actually bought these wheels for my track wheels but they didn't clear my rear brakes so there they are on Dominic's car.

BTW I think these wheels look better on your car Dominic!

Nothing wrong with the sizes you are running, but you have the capability of running a 265/35 all around ( I was with the same size and offset SSR GT2s, no rubbing issues, no coilovers at the time), and you get the benifit of getting to rotate your tires. Just something to think about when you need new tires
