Default Wide tires?

I was wondering if anyon here has had any custom body work to allow for bigger tires. I'm currently running 215's...i just wanted to see if anyone had some custom fender work or anything to run bigger tires like 245's or 255s...

I run 215's also. The fitment and look is great. I choose a 215/40/16 - doesnt have the rubber band look, but also doesnt have the bloated look. Just right.

I run 225/35/18 and the width is not the problem. Its the height of the tire and a soft spring rate. I hit a crease that every integra has in the middle of the inside of front fender. Soon Im gonna have it torched.

I ran a 215/35/18 for a while and had no problems. I currently run a 225/40/17 without a hitch. Wider is no problem, to a point. I have thought about fender flaresto run slightly wider, but then that would just add more weight to my already heavy little piggy.

yeah but dude, but more weight in the front is the best place to add it. i'd love to get some weight up front and be able to run 255's.
