@Hyperion
I'm thinking for the track here but since the discussion came up....why not
Physically... 1 1/4 maybe 1 1/2, gunna buckle. But you'd be better off with a clean cut than an ugly pull and buckle
you're talking flares nowQuote:

I'm just gonna have a chat with @Mr Wilson
Buckle ****s up your fenders 100% and looks ugly. A clean cut would do much less damage. Don't even need to add flares lol.
I'm just talking as in hoodrat shit. Which is pretty much what you're considering if you are willing to run buckled fenders for width
pretty much was totally implying hood rat shit, but I was being seriousQuote:

Wide rims would do you less good than a low offset 8.5 and 235/245 tho as far as weight goes
anyway I will leave this thread be, and we can pick up the discussion at the next meetQuote:

The buckle you see there could be combination of pull and weight on the quarter aired out (ask me how I know). Without seeing it aired up it is hard to say but if I air out on funky ground the body of my car starts to protest so I have to be mindful.
However when we were pulling my fenders you could see it start with the pressure of the roller as well so we backed off.
Dave, I'd like to run a 17 x 9.5 with a 255 tire
edit: let's continue this discussion in my ride thread

I just found out today (but shouldn't have been surprised) that you can easily buy an ABS RB-replica kit on eBay etc for 1/4 the original price.Quote:

I fear something like this would draw so much attention (read police) to your car while on the roadQuote:
