Sturg1647545502 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 6" because you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleskate Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Just eyeballing it here, but with enough stretch and camber, you could clear the 6". However, the 5" will be a much easier fit, and no risk of the fenders cutting the tire, especially if this car will be seeing track duty.

Guest GMoney Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 6" We can get those to fit easy with the over fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions? %5B/img%5D Do whatever this is then. 6"? I think a 5 will end up being too small in the end with a little tire stretched on. Stretching a tire makes is a whole lot smaller than you would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
