"rolling an extra inch" will get you 205's under your car.. Maybe 215's or 225's if your lucky, but 225's are a stretch, and are only for the cars that the factory gave a little bit more of clearance accidentily...

7's are the largest rim you can fit on the rear without flared fenders.

ehhhh wrong...

6's will fit on MOST without molesting fender at all.

all but 911 7R rims require stretching to fit a 205 on a 7 in the rear....

7's and 205's fit fine up front... (front track is around 1 inch narrower per side IIRC)

rears take a nice stretch to fit 225's... on 7's and a 2" stretch to fit 8's.....

AAAron.

I know that. and im talking about "largest" here..

Theres like a hair over 7in of clearance between the inner and outer fender wells..

and he said "rolling the fenders an extra inch"

I got 225's on mine by "rolling the fenders"

It almost fit.

thos hollow tube wheels look like a good choice and are pretty darn cheap on ebay. If I can get it on the front without resorting to flares I would like to do that. Think it's possible? Car has rear flares so I got to imagine I won't have a problem.

Got to admit 18x8 sounds huge HAHA

You got pics?

measurements? inside wheel well to outside wheel well.

You'll be able to figure out what size wheels and tires you can run from that.

That's the hard part I don't have the car yet but want to get parts for it already HAHA
Autox starts in 3 weeks. I will race my civic but it's working as my daily driver now. Because everyone needs a front drive with 300hp to get to work.

But yeah I am just planning out in advance. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

got pictures of the car??

I've run 16x8's (23mm offset) under my front fenders with 225's (depending on the OD of the tire, you might hit the front bottom lip of the fender which will need a slight tweak, nothing major at all)
