I didn't know where to post this so....
how big of tires can I stuff under the fenderwells? I am not worried about the tires sticking out of the fender, actually if they don't stick out too far, i like them.

Anyway what kind of backspacing, and all that other jive about wheels do I need?

 

Ace,

First, are you talking about front, back, or both?

Next, when you ask "how big" do you mean diameter and/or width?

Third, what diameter wheels do you want to use? You can get some fairly wide tires on 17" wheels neatly tucked under the fenders.

Both, I am not concerned with the height as I am the width. I am thinking about 17", but 16 or even 15" are okay.

I would like to stuff the fattest tires in the back with out any "MINOR" (aka 20 lbs. sledge) to the fenders or wheel wells.

 

I've got 295/50R15 in the back of mine.

How do these cars handle with such large tires in the back? can they corner like there is no tomorrow?
