i know this has probably ben asked 1k times, but i just wanted to ask anyways since im doing the conversion what is the widest wheel that you can put on the front, and what is the widest wheel you can put ont the back w/o rubbing on the fenderwel. 5 lug that is so if you have a pic of your own car or information it would be greatly appreciated. using all SN95 parts.

I did the SN95 swap on mine and I am running 17x9 rims with 255 tires all the way around. I am sure you can go up to a 275 on the rear.
