You can run 255 and 275's without spacers. 255's fit fine, no fender rolling required. For 275's, you need to roll rear fenders. That is the beauty of this wheel, really.

You can run 5mm spacers front and rear like my buddy does to keep them away from suspension when you lower a lot and add camber. No studs required for 5mm spacers!
BTW, I ended up getting a set of these new after I posted in your thread. With my Ohlins coilovers, I definitely needed a spacer on the front. I'm using 15mm spacers, but I think 10s would probably be fine. Without a spacer you can't even bolt the rims to the car because the edge of the rim hits the spring perch (with no tire on the rim). In the rear with 255s, it's extremely close to the rear lower control arm. With 275s you definitely would need rear spacers to avoid rubbing.

don't forget to roll rear fender with 275's as well But again, 255's will work great without rolling...

I have 25mm spacers up front since I have chargespeed widebody fenders as well . I am going to run a 5 or 7mm in rear, I think...

are those 17x9.5 on your friends car in the pic you posted? i'd figure those would have a concave look to them.

yes, they are. But the concave is determined by offset, not wheel side. The +27 offset 18's have the oh-so-mad-tiite JDM concave look you may be craving for.
