Fat (obese) wheels and tires
So my friend has a spare set of 15x8's just laying around tire-less. He offered them to me, being the gentlemen I am, I plan on getting them and the fender flares on group buy.
Heres the question:
How much rubber can I fit w/o tubbing? I tried to search this out and I didnt seem to find too much. I know I run 205/17/40's now and its close.. but with flares would something like 235-245 be unrealistic? 225 doesnt seem all too large since I run them on my 17x7 IS300 wheels and that isnt too terribly huge.

if you're doing the flares you should be able to fit 225-245 depending on the offset. You'll most likely have to cut away some of the old fender, but no worries if you're doing the flares.
