you can fit that if....
-you roll the rear fenders
-use 225/40 tires. maybe 235 will work too
-allow for negative camber

i have 18x9, et24 on my rear, which sticks out 4mm less than those falkens. with 225 tires (which i currently have), i can easily put a 5mm spacer in the rear.

wow, sounds like a nice set up.

roll your fenders for sure.

2 people in the back.

take it to an well experienced shop. you can use the baseball bat method or goto any ghetto wheel shop, but you'll risk damaging the fender (waves in the sheet metal and/or buckled fender panel) and excessively chipped paint (the paint will chip, but a good roller can minimize it significantly). YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. i paid $100 to roll the rears and it was worth every penny.

the tC's rear quarter panel/fender sheet metal is very thin and flexible (go knock on it and listen to it verberate like a drum). so it'll roll easy, but will also warp just as easy. i've done the baseball bat on my previous cars, but it wont get you the angle you'll need for those 17x9, et20 wheels.
