Do these still fit the X308?
The rear shouldn’t be a problem but what‘s about the front?

Nice catch!
The rim themselves will fit at the front, no problem.
Just your tire choice might be limited there.
If you go 255, it will probably do alright without rubbing the inner liners at full lock.
But if you go the 275 look, it will likely rub.
All depends a bit on the tire brand (great variation in actual tolerances), and the height of the side wall.
Staggered tire width is not really an option, as the side wall shape front and rear will look odd.

Most important is that the rim itself won‘t rub since I bought these to fit over the brembo conversion without using any spacers.
