Recommendation widest tires with rolled fenders

Post by cessna »

I’m looking for the widest tires I can put under a 1969 2000 roadster with the fenders rolled. I’m running a Vq35 6speed manual with a ford 9inch. I was planning on 16 inch wheels but I’m wondering how wide I can go front and rear. Thx

Old enough to know better, too old to remember why!


1969 2000 solex mine since 1972, under resurrection. (Finally resurrected as of spring 2019!)
1969 Porsche 911s -worth more, but not as valuable! Gone!
2017 Lotus Evora 400 - Oh my!!

Thx. I dug through the gallery. Has anyone put anything wider in the rear then 16x7? I would like to go big as possible. Any suggestions?

Vq swap is something I’m interested in, spent a while trying to find the hr ( dual intake ) version, settled for a vg in the mean time? You have a thread or pics of your ride? And my 2 cents on the tire width, I mean with enough money and supplies anything can fit, right?
