it all depends on the offset

40mm offset, 7" wide will will fit a 205-50 up front and 235-40 in the rear without rubbing even with a 1.5" drop

^I tried other forums, its the same every where you go, the same 4 questions with some smack talking and sarcasm in between.

One forum is 13B's into FB's, another forum is which cooking spray stinks less, its all the same.

What forum was talking about cooking spray? Are you into cooking or something, because I could go for some good *** home cooked meals.

^No, I'm not a big cooking guy, I was just making the point that with anything there are going to be people asking the same questions over and over.
