[s-cars] wheel offset and tire width

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

I don't know how you guys get away with running such wide tires on 35mm
offset rims and avoid the "skateboard look."  I have 225/45/17 on a 35mm rim
and the outside of the tire is almost exactly in line with the very outside
of the fenderwell lip.  Is it possible that the '92s are different here?  I
can't see how but.....maybe my eyes are just bad.

thanks for the help, I had asumed someone has experience with an ET32,  I
thought Hap was running ET30 BBS for a little while, (I could be  wrong,
faint memory)
  my math brakes it down as:
  255 on ET35 adds 15mm to tire outside edge from standard 225 ET35
  235 on ET32 adds 8mm to tire outside edge from standard 225 ET35
  245 on ET32 adds 13mm to tire outside edge from standard 225 ET35

  I assume that if a 255 ET35 fits than a 245 ET32 would as well?   would it
out stick 2mm less than the 255?  I do not understand  what sidewall height
does to tire width, but guess that a shorter  sidewall would allow wider
tread?  I understand sticking with  factory rolling daimeter, thats a must.
I am not second guessing  you Brian, just gaining better understanding,
thanks for the BTDT.

  what tire brand is ideal to look into that is not over $200 per tire, some
brands run wider than others?

  thanks

  Forrest wanting to fit all the rubber he can (eh, haha)
