My chassis is at the stage where I have to make a decision on whether or not to roll the wheel well lip. I will be running the 4 lug 2.0 Fuchs (15 x 5.5).
I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to my exact question. What is the widest tire I can run with and without rolling the wheel well lip? Does it make any difference? I am interested in maximizing traction but I'm not willing to go to flared fenders. Thanks. George |

Might depend on your frame. Mine is a little off side to side. I run a 195 55 15 with no problem, could probably do a 205 but I have not measured for that. To be safe if you are at a point where you can, I would for future options.
