I was kicking around the idea of changing wheels since my tires are junk and it doesnt look like tire companies want to make good wide 15" tires much anymore. So if Im going to change them out to a 16" or17" dia who has the most rediculasly wide tires here for me to shoot for. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Im thinking the shifter kart look. I can redo my rear flares to the 10" ones and I still have room up front with the slant nose kit. I liked the 315X17 tires I had on my old C4 vette and they were on 11" wide rims. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

Not sure what a 11 inch flare is? if you mean the measurement from wheel well to inside of flare I would guess so, sinch the those are 11inch Fiske wheels to the best of my knowledge.

I do know they were a custom job using factory flare's and adding a bunch of metal.

Yesterday, a friend at work showed me a pair of 15" wide rims he's putting on his car.
