Yeah, those are tiny. There's PLENTY of room in the wheel arches for MUCH larger tires than stock, as you can see.
The guy at Discount Tire doesn't know crap.



I'm sure as most people know, knowledge on Fieros is something nearly every shop seems to be lacking. And this was 10 years ago that I got these things, too.

Thanks for the picture, nice car.

Can't tell anything about wheel width and offset from the picture.

Width and offset info should be fast on the inside of the wheel, probably on the back of the spokes.

You've got room for lots more rubber than you've been led to believe.



Agreed. I'll take a look when its not an oven outside to check for that information you told me to look for. Aside from that, your prior tire sizing info is very useful to me at this junction. Thank you sir.

I used Continental ExtremeContact.

Tire sizes were 205/50-R17 front and 225/45-R17 rear, on 17x7" wheels. There was plenty of clearance, even with a lowered suspension. Or if you want the same size all around, 215/45-R17 is good.
