It will fit with flares (I had Jubiride in mind), even at a lower offset than these 6UL's.
I do not intend to slam the car so I don't believe hitting the wheel well will become an issue.
But I'm just thinking aloud here, I'm not really intending on making this happen anytime soon, but you never know.
Sometimes you just got something in your head and you have to do it, just to get some sleep at night :P.

One could dream. We have a few guys locally who run them on the street, but I haven't had a chance to see how long they last since thinking about the idea.
Here's a picture of one of them. blown 402
Anyway, can't wait to see how the 235 R888's look on it. If they aren't too stretched, it might be the motivation needed for the 15x10's!

100% legal - any "DOT" tire is legal for road use in the United States. Many "DOT" tires aren't designed for road use at all (Hoosier A6/R6, Hankook Z214 C71/51) and some have "Competition Use Only" on the sidewall (Nitto NT-01, Toyo RA-1/R888), but all of those tires are technically legal for use on US highways.

That's crazy :P! R888's and similar tyres are legal here, but they will often pull you over for them anyway.
I was thinking about it a bit and the hoosiers might actually be technically legal because they have two ridges running along them, but I'm not sure.
As far as i know the the law here only states the tyre needs to have a tread that is a certain depth, it says nothing about width or percentage of the tyre consisting of tread.

Yeah you can do it of course, DOT is DOT. I just had not heard of anyone seriously wanting to run R6s on the street. It would be cool, but eeeexpensive, and very prone to hydroplaning. You can plan around the rain, but not water sprinkler runoff and the like. And they could cycle out quickly so it would not be good if you ever want to use them on the track.

Hoosiers and anything else without an E-marking are illegal in the EU (RA-1, NT01, RS-3 etc). And R888s and other semi's will soon be illegal too..good thing that they are currently too occupied with other issues to push through the legislation.
You must be a rich man for want to run the 225 and 235 R888s on the street at 1000$+ a set and rapid wear.

NT-01s are $600USD/set and you can get 5000-6000 miles/set out of them - just can't use them in heavy rain. The other good street-R option is the RA1 - I've heard the Toyo RA1 referred to as "the best street tire in the world" on more than one occasion.
