Currently i have empi 8 spoke rims on my car with 165 SR 15 tires on them. I want to go to a wider tire but dont have much room. The empi rim has too much off set.
I have read about using a bat to "roll out" the fenders. Exactly how is this done, and will it resolve my problem. Does anyone else out there have empi 8 spokes on their car, and what is the widest tire you can put on them. Thanks Craig |

Personally, I'd get rid of the Empis and get some 914 Fuch alloys. They will have the right offset for the car and you could easily run a 195 size tire and even probably a 205.
