Default Fitting an 8 1/2 inch wide rims up front (pics)

Work wheel (Meister S1) 8 1/2 inch wide, 22 offset, wrapped with 225/45/15 Hoosier A3S04 tires


Fenders had to be cut considerably to make em fit..


Well, its a good thing I had a pair of J's Racing flares to cover it up.

Only problem, we had to cut the rear fenders too to make sure that the 7 inch wheel with the wider tires wouldnt rub...so off it goes to the body shop this week for a face lift...

Cool setup. I assume the car is an Auto-X car? do you track the car at all? Just wondering on the setup for HPDE

That looks sick!

Where did you find work wheels in such an awkward size?

Cut em so they wont rub...size of wheels and how it performs differ from car to car because of suspension set up... 13 inch wheels are 2 inches smaller in diameter than my 15's too...so maybe that's why his didnt rub...
