Do you know any stories of poking wide rear tires hitting and damaging fenders?
I have a regular body HC Challenger with 305/35 R888R just installed in the back; the wheel is 11" and the offset is 19 mm. The R888R run wide and in 305 they are as wide a many 315 tires. So the result is that the tires poke out about ~1/2 inch or so. I can see that they won't clear the fender if they can reach it.
So the the question is: is this safe? I see a lot of regular body Challengers with rear tires pocking out (or with Lil' Devils fender flares). Do you know of anyone actually damaging their fenders on a bump or whatever? My car is not lowered, stock suspension; there is about 2.5 inches clearance between the top of tire and the fender when the car is empty.
