I picked up some 7 inch wide cookies at Hershey.
I think I'll be able to stuff them under my non-flared car. Am I on crack? Zach |

I have 225s on my narrow car, but it took some rolling and cutting the fender support brackets.
Cut and paste from my 'RSR Cookie Cutter' thread: QUOTE(roachghia70 @ Apr 19 2014, 07:32 PM)  The finished product: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961163.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961163.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961163.3.jpg) I wrapped them in 225/50/15 tires, Falken Ziex 912 touring tires. But I could only afford 2 tires so far, so it'll be another week before I have 4 matching wheels. haha (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.7.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397961164.8.jpg) It is a TIIIIGHT fit in the back, especially on the driver's side. But the 225s do fit, and my car is pretty low. I believe that the PO had rolled the fenders a bit, and the fender support bracket in front of the tires down by the rocker has been cut, so that the fenders could be pulled outwards. The 16" Fuchs on the front of my car don't belong to me. They were just loaner wheels while I got my engine swap finished up. I'm going to return them to DBCooper as soon as I get my two front tires. I've painted my bumpers the same color as the Cookie Cutters, with Rustoleum Satin Nickel spray paint. The black part of the wheels is Duplicolor Trim Black spray paint. It has maybe just a little bit more shine than I wanted, but I think that will fade down a bit with time. Overall, I am very happy with the wheels. I can get pictures of the fender support that was modified, if it would help you out. Just let me know. |
