How is he running it? I have no idea
probably with a lot of camber, i am guessing at least 2.5degrees or more, something that would destroy the inner edge of your tires if you kept driving with that much camber on the street...

also it is et20 so the wheels would stick out a little more and you'll get a little more clearance on the strut side. if the 10.5" wheel was et27, i dont think you'd have enough space on the strut side.

the problem is made worse if you are using an aftermarket coilover like KW (which has bigger springs) because it reduces the amt of space that you have in between the edge of the tire and the strut/spring.
