Has anyone run as wide as a 245 profile tire in the front? And if so did you have to roll the fenders?

depending on the offset of the wheel, you may not have to roll the fenders, i have 225's up front and they don't rub at all unless my splash gaurds are out of place, then they rub around corners, but as far as the fenders go, you *should* be fine. again, it depends on the offset of the wheel/camber you are running. I personally wouldn't run em up front, but thats just me.

S14's have much larger wheel clearance then s13's that I know. I'm pretty sure 245 will fit.

I had 245/40-18s up front offset was like 28 and i just kept rubbing the stupid platic tabs up in the top of the fenderslammed on Tanabe coilovers too looked gross though only had it for a week too big wheel/tire combo in my opinion

I'm doing 18x9s on 265s soon though eheh
