Tire & Wheel Size, Pics Please Options

[Sfreeman615]

I know everyone is sick of this topic, but I am a couple weeks away from being done with all of the body work, paint and suspension and about to be able to turn this car into a finished product minus the engine, but to turn it into a roller it has roll. That being said I am trying to decide on the tire size and wheels to go on it. I am keeping the narrow body, but don't mind rolling the fenders if I need to. I am looking for a wider than stock, stocky stance to the car. If you wouldn't mind, post some pics of your car and tell me what size wheels and tires you are running. It's much appreciated, this part of the build has me literally pulling my hair out!!

This is what I had before I added flaired fenders and wider wheels. 205/50R17 on 7 inch wide wheels on all four. I rolled the lips of the rear fenders and did the baseball bat procedure on the rear fenders to pull them out a little. I actually used a piece of PVC pipe rather than a bat. What ever you use, make sure take your time and be carefull. It's not hard to screw them up. If you can afford it I would suggest having a body shop do it. I also used an 8mm spacer on the front to accomodate the back spacing of the wheels.

That's the exact look I want Elliot! Thanks so much, where did you get your wheels? I was going to do the 5 lug conversion only because I haven't found any 4 lugs I like, but yours look awesome.
