Depends on wheel offset, wheel width, suspension height, even tyre pressure. Every car is going to vary so you won't know until you try. I run 235s with +38 offset wheels, 38psi (cold), Whiteline Control springs (about 40mm drop), and it rubs on full lock on the inside weather shield which is no biggy.

They look pretty ugly... make sure the PCD, offset, spigot diameter, and tyre profile is right (the profile looks too low for a TR). Also check load rating on the tyres.
