What's the widest tire I can fit front///rear
without having turning clearance problems cuz the set of CobraR's Im gonna get are 17x9 all the way around and their cheap so I can just replace the front 2 to like 16x8 or something |

If it is minor I'll try to stretch a tire on the rim, I'll try a 205 first then a 215 I watched a guy stretch a 175 onto a 195 rim at work and I asked him about tires and such I also asked you guys to so..I got the best. :wink |

my buddy is runnin on 245/50 with 16 rims. two inch drop in the front
and 1.5inch drop in the rear. Great stance. looks like he has no clearance for the front tires but he has full movement without them rubbing at all. |

sweet thanks!
I made my decision 17x9 rim becuz theyre cheap and i can replace the front with 16x8 when i get the money lol except instead of putting a 225 or 230 on them ill stretch a 205 or 215 on I think that'll be enough to clear the fenders |
