Dave,
I think it's important to know the aspect ratio of your tires and to know
the type of wheels you are using. Some wheels might have different back
spacing and tuck in under the fender lips better than the stock wheels.

Joel;
I have 15 X 5 1/2" wheels on the front; 15 X 6" on the rear - no body mods
necessary. Min car has all the stock fender lips. I will send you a photo
via separate e-mail.
