ANybody running big wheels? I know 16 is the standard since 15 is difficult to get tires for, but are there any 17/18" cars out there and did you have any problems with fit?

Billy I think it might have massaged flares but the kinesis 914 has big fat tires I think. Someone posted it on a thread where I was also asking what would fit. I think it was Andy that said there is room for a 10 inch tire in the rear if it's done right. With my flare taped on I thought I measured 12 inches to the inside of the lip but I was told it ain't gonna happen The 10 inches is the average. I have bought some 17x8.5's that have 255/40r that are 10.3 so the specs say, so we will see. You are way ahead of me so you will see before me.
