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 |

looks like you have 1.5" or 2.0" spacers on that car. So you could fit at least a 10.5" or 11.0".
Tire range from 275 => 305. I ran the magnesium BBS motorsport wheel on my 993. BBS in GA was happy to send me some different outer and inner wheel halfs so I could fit the car how I wanted it without spacers. Ended up running 18x9 front and 18x11 rear with 245's and 285's. Kind of fun torquing all those bolts. dr Attached image(s)
