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 |

I put 195/65-15 on stock Fuchs four lug wheels. With just a bit of negative camber, the right rear cleared the fender lip by about 3/8 " but the left side had only 1/8". Some "gentle" pulling got that closer to 1/4".
