Well, i got a quote for fender work today so im kinda leaning towards keeping the wheels and making it fit. But i have a buyer lined up and he's super excited about buying the wheels, i dont know how to break the news to him. imma feel like **** when i do.

Wait, do people actually buy wheels to fit the car? I can't even imagine that....
OP just needs to get a roller and shave the fenders and pull then get adj. control arms to setup camber. That wheel is easily attainable, I have seen a bit wilder, you just need faith, time, and money. Key is camber, otherwise, like everyone else said, you need widened fenders

that LS RA40 is almost a little too aggressive for my taste,, the wheel is sick but when you have to start modding normal pieces of the body like the doors just to get the wheels to to fit flush i think it takes away from the cars beautiful lines. it is great work, but completely changes the shape and flow of the car.

i hope you're not welding on new fenders without trying to at least give those a hard roll/pull first. 255/35 tire with a few degrees of camber should be able to tuck them in, they don't look to be sticking out too much. It's going to take some work though, and you'll need to be pretty low to pull them off correctly, it'll look like crap on stock suspension.
