I want to use Dunlop SP Sport 8000 245/50/15 on the rear of my car and 225/50/15"s on the front. I can fit up to a 11.5" wide wheel in the back with flares and 9.5" in front. What wheel width would you guys recomend for a stretch that would look like thr rear of this CRX. Sorry for the noob Question. I was thinking like a 15x11" in the rear and a 15x9" in the front.

No one has any advice. This is for my S12. I want to use Work Equip 03's.

Usually you buy the wheels you want THEN do tire fitment..not the other way around. I think people are more baffled at your methods. 11's on the rear would be fine and 9.5's in the front for the tires you mentioned to stretch that way.

I guess I worded that wrong. In the work wheels they have enough offsets that 10",10.5",11" and 11.5" will all sit flush with the fender flare, the only difference would be back spacing. My question was would the 245's be too stretched on the 11" wheels I was thinking of buying. So you think that a 9.5' with a 225/50 will stretch similar to a 11" with a 245/50.
