Biggest Tires
I just picked up a set of 15x7 centerline prostars 4 lug. I was wondering what the biggest tire is i can fit in there, without rolling fenders, and deleting the quad shocks. I have 225's all around right now, not cutting it for me.

^^ lies! ur gonna need to do some work to get those to fit
i have yokohama s.drive 275/40/17 on the rear and my car is lowered about an inch. i kept the quad shock but i did bend up the fender lip a little with a 3lb hammer (slowly worked it) it came out just fine and was easy to do.
i had a 255/45/17 i believe and those fit just fine

probably not gonna work for you
a 255/60/15 or whatever equals a 26X10.50X15 is all you can do or will be able to do
the 275's are like a 11.50 wide tire and will rub even with quads off, you'll see where they hit the fenderwell and get cut up
if they do not rub there... you'll have the issue that you are only using a 7" wide rim for a 11 1/2" tire and the sides will roll up and you'll have les than a 10" tire even on the ground.
need minimum 8" rim for a tire that wide

To the O/P, what's the backspacing on the rims you bought. That will also make a difference.
