It could be pretty close, depending on the exact tire brand. At worst, it will require minimal rolling. Probably good to go though.

Assume you are talking rear only...

I have 285/30 on a 10" wheel with +43 in the rear with 25" ride height... Just needed to roll the inner fender lips a little, no pulling required.

I run 18x10.5" CCW's with +50mm offset and run 285/30/18's all around. I have cut the lips of the front fenders and rolled the rears. The car sticks like glue; however this is total overkill for anything but track days. This is my race setup.

On the street this is way too much rubber to be able to truly use and the car with such a short tire profile the car rides like sh*t. You feel every bump and crack in the road creating a tramline effect making the car follow every imperfection in the road.

On the street I run 18x9 255/35/18's and 18x10 275/35/18's which provides great grip and a comfortable ride.

I actually have been running about 500 miles and I still haven't rolled at all... i plan to, but i havent yet. Of course I'm running a few degrees of negative camber so the wheels are slightly cambered in but the only time i rub in the rear is during verrrrry hard corners. i am running zeal coilovers though with some pretty stiff rates 11kg/10kg
