Just got my 225/50R15's under the fenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) This is the look I've been wanting for The Turd. The steelies are widened 15 x 7's. The offset is a little negative so I actually had to put 8mm spacers on. Yes, the rear fenders have been pushed out about 3/4". With the spacers I have about 1/2" clearance on either side of the wheel on the rear. No problems on the front. Been driving it through the "twisties" and no rubbing! Now I need to find a set of good shiny hubcaps. These don't show it but they are well used and I only have 2 of them.

Mark - "Turd" is still appropriate; It leaks a little oil, the chrome is older looking, the driver side long sags a bit and there's a fly permenently splattered into the paint on the hood (that's what I get for painting it in my garage). I've tried to keep it from being a CW so I won't be affraid to beat on it a little.
ME733 - No major chassis mods except the rear fenders and welding in a few panels that were rusted (i.e hell hole and trunk repairs). It's a 2.7/6 CIS. Battery was relocated to the rear trunk and the circuit board deleted. OttoX914 - Do a search under my screen name. I did a whole thread on how I stretched the fenders on my previous car. These were done the same way. |
