I was running that combo...fit fine but the front lower control arms had some light rubber marks on them from full lock turns in a parking lot.

The biggest issue I had was that the square setup made for a loose handling car. Great for tight Autocross courses where you need the car to rotate. BUT, that same looseness could be aggravating on fast big courses.

I run the hoosiers that way because too lazy to stock a bunch of wheels. rubs brake ducts a bit no big deal works fine on road course and it is not too loose to me.
