Re: tire size
break out the sledge hammer and it will fit, given the right rim size and offset..

Re: tire size
I am running big rear tires. My car is in the dyno right now, but I will have it back by the end of the week. I run ZR1 vette rims. Can't remember what the offset is off the top of my head. Google it, the info is out there. I had to cut and hammer. I decided to push the idea to the next level and I just cut out all the metal by the spring and smashed the wells till the metal started to split. None of this effects the interior pieces fitting so why not. Now I have so much room its nuts. I have been running 335s as I was building my car since I got them for next to nothing, but now that the car is getting close to being done, I just ordered a set of Nitto 555Rs (315). I have 2" billet spacers too. These will need to be machined down 1/4 to 1/2 an inch to make the tires tuck back up and under the quarters, but they most def will. Hope this helps, go to my CD site if you wanna see hundreds of pics of what I did. I will update within the month when I have the 315s on and the proper machining done to the spacers.
But first I gotta get my car back from the dyno.
