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 |

Could also start to look "funny" if you go too big or small in size. See some 914's running pretty low profile on 15" rims and there's a lot of space in the wheel well. Just doesn't look right. Same with a tire that's all too large, tall, fat ect.
I've seen 195/60's that look good. Maybe....maybe a 205/60, but that might start getting too big? Pics, we needs pics! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=3566&st=0 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=279644 |
