WHAT IS THE LARGEST TIRE SIZE, IN WIDTH, I CAN PUT ON A FASTY, WITHOUT ALTERATIONS?

Is your fastback stock height or lowered, if lowered how much, and what wheel do you have?

Confused

Late or early model?

I now have 225/45/17 in the rear on 8,5x17 rims..This is very, very close.
Front is 205/50/17, which rubs. Before this 17"wheel, my former 7x16 rim with 195/45/16 did not rub in the front.
I have front lowered 1 notch.

As you see, with really big tires, small details become very important.

Beetspeed,

Is the rear of your car lowered? Swing or IRS? If swing, are you running stock T-3 length rear axles? I'm trying to figure out if 215/70/15 will fit under the rear of my swing axle 68 fasty.

IRS, rear is not lowered:
