Yes it will, if you drift your car with a proper set up:

alignment
bump steer/angle adjustable tie rod ends
corner balance
proper wheel travel

I am arguing FOR stretched tires, yet even I can tell you don't have an in-depth understanding of suspension at all.

face it, just admit your wrong and the wheel does fit, its streetable and it fits. there's 3 pictures that prove it and 1 pointless one you wanted posted. so dude just stop you lost

No it doesnt... the bump stop does... =)

We recently had a volvo in our shop that had under 60,000k on it.. one of the front struts was blown to all hell, the other one was fine.

When I took apart the blown side, guess what? It had no bumpstop! If, like you say, it was the spring that controls the shock travel, why did the strut blow?

Spring: cusions the initial impact
shock: controls the repeated movement of the spring so that the car doesnt bounce up and down all the time
bump stop: prevents the shock from bottoming out under full compression of the shock absorber.
