I looked into this years ago but stopped my research when the wheel widening companies only did widening by the inch, I felt like an entire inch was too much inboard and I didn't want to use a spacer.
I forgot about that little detail. Really means I'm going to be limited to adding 1".
That gets me to 6.72" BS which is about 1/4" further in that some of the combo's I've seen running 6.5" BS wheels. I really don't want to run a spacer here either, and would prefer to keep my tailpipes.
I might have to give this up as well. Guess there's a reason why you don't see many people widening SN95 wheels on the fox body
Got my new wheel/tire setup on the car and taking a look at this again.
SN95 17x8s, with 255/45/17s mounted.
Some pics of current fit.
I'd go 1" wider on the inside with the goal of getting a 275 on there. Those quads are not flipped. I feel like getting 20mm of tire in the inside is doable.
Of course, cost. $200/wheel plus a new pair of tires.
You'll change your mind before then. I looked into having factory wheels dished. It was just too expensive compared to a set of out-the-door wheels that just bolt up.
