If not what would size spacer will be required?

Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who says they will. No personal experience though

Here's my car with 225/50's on 951 8's in the back and no flares. It is possible.

Nope...your clearance issues will be at the outer edge so spacers will only make it worse.

You'll need negative camber too.

Yep, what Tod said.

In the above pic, I'm running 2.75 degrees negative in the back, as well as a secret mod to narrow my rear track by 7mm per side.

Without the mods I did, you will need to grind, and/or roll the fender lips, massage them out by rolling an aluminum bat between the tire and fender, and running slightly more than 3 degrees negative camber in back.

You could also have 3mm machined off the rotor hat surface where the wheel meets it.
