Does anyone know how wide a front wheel can be before it starts rubbing on a otherwise stock T-3? I have some 13x8s that people have seen, and I like them, but I'm worried about their rubbing on corners.
THe small size would be nice for my more... spirited driving. :D

I think it depends on the offset as well as the width.

I seriously doubt an 8" wheel will fit since most stock Type 3s rub with 4.5" rims and 165 tires. Why? Because the front end has sagged a little over time.

Also note that a 13" rim will probably not clear your disc brakes or calipers.
