Scotch brite pad to a car, that's awesome on such a wrong level.

I would have to reread to rules for CS, but I don't remember being allowed to run a wider wheel. You would need a 7.5 front and 8 inch rear. Then if I remember, up to 5mm difference in offset from stock.

I have an 03 track so the stock wheels are 8 and 8.5 wide. I know the rears will fit. I just want to avoid ordering and returning the 17x8s if I can help it.

Can you post a better picture? 285 on a +15 wheel should poke a little bit, but nowhere near an inch

285/40 or 35s? Looks like you're at stock height, it'll camber in once you lower the car. I had 285/35 Nitto Drag Radials in the rear, fits with a mild roll. Pic above is with a 10mm spacer, you should have room to spare if on 35 series.

That looks a little more how you should expect. Also, if you jacked up the car and lowered it back down without rolling the car forward or back at all, the wheels will be sitting slightly off from their default position. If in that picture the car hasn't rolled at all after lowering it back down off the jack, the wheels will pull in a bit when you move it.
