It's on the correct side. You'll just need to cut a portion of it off.
I thought about putting it on the other side of the bracket. But you'd have to drill the mounting hole all the way through and tap it from the other side. Not a bad idea but it moves the key pretty close to steering.

Finally got all my stuff back from the powder coat shop just the ceramic coat stuff left. Yesterday I put the fuel tank in, painted the rest of the parts, redid the tape on my engine harness, installed serpentine belt, intake, alternator, starter and got all the mounts and bolting ready. Just got my engine hoist back last night so today or tomorrow I will be setting the frame on the motor and trans

Okay so I got the motor off the subframe and set it on the ground right behind the frame then set the front on a furniture dolley and set the rear on the ground me and my girlfriend picked up the rear of the frame and set it right on the mounts.. simplest thing I have done on the kit so far. Then we set it up on the jackstands right by where the coolant hose comes out of the frame and that's where I left off today mainly just cleaned up all the tools and moved the painted parts around.

Switched over now trying to get the fuel pump in and the bolts keep spinning on me I guess imma grab some quicksteel to hold them there that would be my best bet? I tacked one of them but I really don't wanna do the rest like that

Mine touched but not nearly that much. I bent the steel braket away from the steering shaft just a tad and that was all the clearance I needed.

Unless you have an offset of less than 20, 255 will not fit. At least I sure wouldn't bet on it. Coil overs don't help that much for tires on this particular setup because it's the actual strut housing not the spring that starts to get in the way.
The 255/50 16 R888 is what I ran on the rear of P2 for a long time. We did have to run a wheel spacer with the 16x8 RPF1. The tires are wide enough that they get into the strut tube. They are also kind of tall which is why I didn't go with them again (I went with 225/45R16 but 245/45R16 is better based on your horsepower goals).
I was under the impression that the R888 isn't on backorder and is instead being discontinued. It would be nice if they don't discontinue them because I like that tire.
Here are two places that claim to still have the 245/45R16 in stock:
Tire Crawler R888
Discounted Wheel Warehouse R888
