The Sumitomo HTR Z II's. Is anyone running them on the stock 17" wheels? I am thinking about buying them but want to make sure they wont rub on the rear.

I don't think those tires will handle your power. You'll be roasting them very easily. I put them on my WRX and I could spin all four tires very easily. They seemed to be very hard and did not hook up well at all.
I replaced them with Bridgestone S-03s, which were much better. The grip on the S-03s was 100x better than the Sumitomo's. I got a dead hook with the S-03s. I could launch my WRX in the rain with basically no wheel spin. With the Sumitomos, I would just spin like crazy.

Don't listen to him. It would be close, but how much wider is it than the Nitto 555. Thats the only tire I have heard that tucks without mmods. Its a narrow 275,
