Will these wheels fit???

I promise i've searched and searched to find out, but I can't find this specific size.

I really like these wheels (XXR 527) they are 17x8.25 with an offset of +25mm

I have st-x coilovers and want to know if I'm going to need spacers or whatever. I'm terrible with wheel fitment. so....

How much work are you willing to do? That size will probably require stretched tires and trimmed wheel arches if they fit at all. Plus plenty of camber. R56 or R53? It's certainly possible to fit them. Just not going to be super easy.

Wont fit without taking sawzall to the fenders.
The wheel is far too wide + the offset is far too small, resulting in the outside of the wheel sticking out +45mm further out towards the fender.

Lowered car will only exacerbate fitment challenges, especially on the outside/fender clearance side.

Spacers are useless, as they will only push the wheel further out.
Spacers can negate too large of an offset, but small offset wheels are the dead end.
This is a pretty common wheel design - look around on tirerack.com for wheels that will actually fit your car.
