Wondering if anyone has had a set of 4-bolt Mahles widened for the rears? If so, how wide can you go with stock fenders?

Actually no point in widening the wheel with the same size tire. Problem is tire clearance. You might get from a 205 to a 215 or 225 towards the inside but it's not going to stick that much better.

That's only kinda true. I agree that you're overall limited with tire sizes; there just isn't enough fender well. But, there are distinct tire stiffness benefits to running appropriately wide rims which can affect grip and overall vehicle transient handling. |
