[s-cars] Widest 17" Wheels?

[TM]

That's interesting, as I recently test-fitted 17x8 ET32 w/ 255/40R17 on
my car
and they didn't stick out, although it was very tight in the rear.

One lister's 17x7.5 ET30 w/ 235/45R17 is pretty much flush with the
outside plane
of the wheelwells, just barely avoids sticking out as well.

Note that when I mean "stick out," I'm going by the SCCA spec- does the
tire stick
out past the wheelwell when looking at it from directly above?

Heck, my 8", +35 wheels with 245/40's seem to stick out just a little in
the rear on the avant.
