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 |

In the first pic I have 7x15 Fuchs with 205/50/15 tires + stock fenders. Fuchs were 911R with bigger ET.
In the second pic I have 7x16 Fuchs with 205/50/16 in front and 205/55/16 in rear. The trailing arms in rear are 20mm narrowed both sides.
