I am looking for the overall width from tire edge to tire edge, with stock rims if you have them on a 93-present.
Not looking for super accurate, but within a half inch is more than good enough. The rough measurements I got from a Junkyard shell were in the 65 inch range,(was a guess as there was no wheels or suspension).
I appreciate the few minutes it will take.

To determine how much of a flare,(if any), I need to fit this under a 1973 Datsun 240Z. My current tire to tire width is just under 64 inches. I think I can squeeze 65 inches under stock fenders, but anything more requires flares,(fairly simple to do, the ones I want anyways).
I am transplanting the complete RX-7 front and rear suspensions to the 240Z as part of a project.

I measure the front end at 67 inches with 245/45/16 tires on stock rims.

Good luck with your project.
