not concerned with width but all I need is a definite largest diameter tire with a stock offset wheel
-O-E strut and spring
my only interest in this question is the seat for the spring right above the inboard edge of the tire
tire must clear the spring mount but not necessarily by enough to do more than roll it in and out of the garage & steer while building the car and making clearance for the tires that will be permanent
and I'd like to be doing SOMETHING while I setting aside the cash for coil overs
hoping I can fit a 24.7 inch tire but I'm seriously doubtful when I stick my fingers in back there with the 205 50 15 in place
not worried about hitting the body , in fact I want to find where the tires are going to hit so I can start removing what's in the way
the lowest profile , widest 17 inch tire I can find is a 275 35 17
and it only comes in a Hooser track tire..and as I found last night MAYBE a ridiculously cheap treaded tire from some tire company based in the UK
---" Marschal 717 Power Racer , 275 35 17"
the listing I found is local so I'm ah gonna make a phone call today and see if 5 of those can land on my doorstep for the AS advertised 94 bucks each..& free local shipping ...
Nooo, I'm not holding my breath on that LOL
up hear the Hoosiers will end up costing me about 6 hun each .. and my hobby "ride" will NEVER use up a set of treaded tires with occasional use going for evening and weekend rides so if I can get 5 of then I can build the car to fit the Hoosiers I want
