Yes. Front or rear base wheels will clear.

I just try today, the offset of front wheel is super aggressive. The widest tire for rear wheel on front probably is 255. Just FYI if anyone have any idea to go with this set up.

Yeah, it's +15-- relative to the stock front which is narrower and in the 40's, it's quite a jump.

Yes, I noticed that when I had the base wheels. I think you can go 245/265 with the set up.
