Biggest rear wheel possible for a stock fender?

I've done 7's (17's) with a 235/45 tire, and 7.5's (18's) with a 225/40 tire. Both the above were +42 offsets on stock drums. I think the 7.5 is the limit, because then you have issues with the tire and the springplate.

Good luck,
Lanner

Yeep. I totally forgot about that... I had to put the control arm/springplate nuts on the inside of the springplate, and grind a touch off of the bolt heads on Sues to be sure her Cup III's would be clear. I later found out that the grinding wasn't really necessary after I got the spacer situation right though.

7.5" isn't the limit. Here's an 8!
