You could possibly go an 8 inch wide rim....but I would play it safe and go 7.5 inch

I am runing 225 50zr 16 with my momo 16*8's and I had to roll the rear fenders to get them to fit. I am on tokiko illums and sprint sports. Lowered about....mmmmm 1.5 inch. Soon to be on either neuspeed race springs or H&R race springs. So we will see how much more I need to roll the fenders then.

The biggest we can go, with no major modification is 19"x8" Rim, 235/35 tire setup.

my case is different than most.
245/35/20
the wheels are 8.5 wide. the offset is that of a lexus i think
but 19s is the biggest on stock fenders.


happy holidays all
