Default Widest rim size?

I wanted to see if any one out there has gotten 14x10’s on a 92 hb. Just needed to see if they would fit before I have to go and do all the measuring. So if any one knows the widest sizes on a 14” rim I could fit for the front and back let me know and lets hear your feedback.

you will rub 14x10 like hell when you turn unless you run a wheel spacer but then the tires will be sticking out of the fender i run a 15x8 and they sit almost flush with the fender but still rub a little when i have to make a u turn or what not so i can only imagine what 2 more inch's would do. p.s. thier on a 98 coupe

Do you think a 14x10 will fit in the rear? And then in the front maybe run a 14x8 or 7

What do you need that much rubber under the car for? yes it will rub front or rear your only hope for it to maybe even clear would be to run a ton of neg camber to tip the wheel away from the fender and hope you can get an offset that might work

Mainly for the looks of it.
Yeah I figured. That’s why I ask. I wanted to see if any one knew actual widest sizes that will clear for the front and back. Offsets will help also.

Don't run a staggered set up like that on a fwd car. You don't need a 10 inch wide wheel for looks. Just grab something like a 15x7.5 or 15x8 and go from there. You will have a lot more choices with offset, etc and will be easier to find the wheels you want. Not to mention tires will be cheaper.

staggered setup with a callos or cft front end would be the bees knees... then I think you would only have to worry about rubbing on the frame, but nothing a spacer couldnt help remidy...

looking at the back, it looks like 14x8 will fit with a little bit of a strech on the tire
