I have to put the wheel on, so Richard can view it, and confirm that this setup is really good for self washing the car on rainy days

At least I am not seriously considering flaring the fenders yet....

Right now I have 8x17, 9x17 - et52 front and rear - fits fine.
Fronts will sit 5mm inboard. Rears will stick out 6.7mm and in 18.7mm. I'd assume they'd fit depending on the tires used.

Stan.
I think someone makes front wheel flares. Gee. I'm not sure who.

How'd you get 75mm? 3 x 22.54 inch to mm conversion don't make 75mm does it?

Get Tass to fab up some 5, 8 and 12mm negative wheel spacers.
Will sell like hotcakes.
I'll take a flux capacitor and Mr. Fusion if you've got one.

Speed with impunity. Just go back right before I get tag and slow down
for the speed trap.
Ernest (NYC) 8"x17 with 56mm fronts fit just fine. Will try 245/40/17 tire this spring.
