Does anybody know what the largest size tire is that fits in the rear of a teener with factory flares, without having to make complicated modifications to the flares?
265, 275, 285? Who bids higher ... I will buy either 5 lug 17x9 or 17x10 rims depending on what size tire fits. Since these things cost $$$$$$$$$ I don't want to make a mistake. Thanks, Johan |

For referance
I have steel flares 255/40/17 996 cup(?) wheels 9 x 17 with 46mm bolt on spacers 1/16 toe-in with -1 degree camber winds up being about about 1cm clearance both sides (IMG:http://www.primafoundry.com/rearwheel.jpg) I am not totally sold on the way my wheels look, I got a good deal on them. I dont hate them i just think fuchs look correct and i will probably wind up changing when i get a deal on some 9 x 16's for the rear. |
