    Which side did you test fit?
    If I'm not mistaken the driver side spring perch interferes with wide tires sooner than the passenger side.
    As for front, best to swap them out and test run them, slowly!
    Bet they catch the fender edge though.

      i did the drivers side and i can't test them out on the front currently only have the back of half the aspire swap done.. well they are as tall as 13's with 155/80/13 so i don't know. but they are maybe 2 times wider then the 13's i got on..

        Pretty safe bet that youll be slamming the spring perch, the fender or both. If not in a straight line then definately in turns.

            Maxtivas got 15s on his. And I know he had to space the back wheels out pretty good to get them to work. I believe he also rolled the fenders. But dont quote me.

              Buy them for $200 and sell them for $300!
              This is capitalistic society!
              If that doesn't work for you, buy for $200 and give them to me!
              I would be appreciate that!

                      So you buying them for $200 and giving them to me is like keeping in the family!:p

                      No, I understand, but it dosen't stop me from asking!

                            Me thinks the 205's too wide!
                            Unless you mod the suspension or the fenders or both.
                            But might want to see if someone else has run something similar.

                            They would fit well on my wifes Del Sol too, if she hadn't spent $4k on a paint job!
