Depending on your tire size, you could get away with some spacers. On my tire/rim package I'm maxed out front and rear 235/40 18x8 38et.

Thinking of running 5mm spacers on the Titians for the winter, gonna run 235/45-17 Dunlop 3D wintersports.

There is only appx 15-18mm gap between Mikes rear tires and fender, a finger just fits in there. 10mm spacers is probably the max to go to be safe. I have some old school universal aluminum 7mm(really 1/4 ")spacers at home that we can play around with.

edit: i think I'll see what the price is for H&R's for the iPd end of summer sale...whenever it happens....

Just remember, if you buy H&Rs you're gunna need the lugs to go along with it. That's $99 for spacers + $34 for 10 lugs - whatever sale discount is, and that's for a pair. My MST spacers were hand made, 20mm rear + 5mm front + 10x 20mm extended lugs + 10x 5mm extended lugs + shipping for $145. Lead time from raw material in Nevada (their location) to my doorstep was 7 days on the dot.

You forget that I had an S70 and C70 that I rolled fenders in Andrew? How do you think I fit +et20 on 18x8 in the rear of the coupe? :D I really didn't think it was that bad to do but maybe I just got lucky.

ET20... LOLOLOL

Currently Running 18x8.5 ET15 and it could still fit another 5-8mm. Ran 17x8 ET0 at one point too.
