Hello,

I'm considering a set of polished cookie cutter wheels (I love the looks of them and they're not that common) and was wondering if I would be better off playing it safe getting a 6 inch set, or will a 7 inch set work? My car does NOT have flaired fenders and I'm not considering putting them on in the near future.

How much backspacing room do I have in there? I'll check to see what the backspacing is on the wheels.

Thanks for any info...

I have 6" cookies and they fit. The 7" variety will stick out 1" more
since the backspacing is the same.

I am of the opinion that 7" wheels are unlikely to fit without
significant fender stretching. That is, if you want 205 or wider
tires and not too much camber. (in rear)
