285's All around?

Is it possible to easly fit 285's on all 4 corners. Or would it take alot of modification of the front wheel well to get them in?

They do fit with the right wheels (offset). I've had pretty good luck with mine. I've caught the fender once or twice, but never any major damage, and raising the car a tad seemed to fix the problem. Here are some pics (no rubbing that day, despite a big off-course adventure, but it is pretty high up):

maxcooper,

What are the specs on those CCW wheels? Offset, width, etc. I had just emailed off to CCW looking basically for the same type setup.

I would assume that coilover setup would be needed to clear up front, but stock trailing arms might (not sure) clear in the rear. Probably need some good sway bars to prevent rubbing as well.

Thanks

Nevermind, just found it on your site!
