The inside of the wheel will be 17.35mm / 0.68" closer to the suspension. The wider tire makes the edge move another 5mm closer too. Before you buy these wheels, I'd measure the current distance between your wheel/tire, and the suspension, and in particular the upper A-arm joint. If it is less that 1", then you may have a problem with your proposed setup.
Thanks, I appreciate that insight. Now it sounds unlikely to do a square setup and will probably stick with standard factory sizes.
