Largest 17 inch Slick/Radial on an SSTC without...

having to roll the fenders or mess with the wheel wells.

1. I was thinking of getting some Ion Redline rims and wanted to mount the largest size drag slicks on them without having to modify my fenders, etc. My question is can I fit a 255/45/17 without modifying my car (at all or much)?

2. What is largest size I can fit on my car without modification?

3. If you were to cut/modify/roll fenders, what size have you run/would you run?

Thank you in advance. I appreciate any assistance you can offer.

Regards,

BK05SS

1. What specific tires are you running?

2. Do you have a SC or TC?

3. Most importantly do you run a spacer with your wheels???

Can I run a 225/45/17 with a 25.1 inch diameter or ideally a 245/45/17 with a 26.0 inch diameter without needing a spacer for my SSTC? I am on stock suspension. thanks in advance all.
