the back... prolly 12"? with a good fender roll and adjustable suspension. The front im running into issues with 9.5 +12 offset, either a good roll (what im doing) or 15mm overfenders would probably solve it either way, with 18's relocating your harness is a must.

hope this somewhat helps...

Moved to Wheels and Tires where there's plenty of information regarding fitments, including a thread sticky-ed at the top.

Thanks

This depends on what you're looking for. Do you want a wide wide with stretched rubber or a wide wheel with lots of fat rubber? You gonna for Hella-flush or Hella-grippy?

Search for post by Broadfield, cnichols or gsracer. They've got some wide rubber on their 240's
