can i make 28" slicks fit?
 

someone i know has some 28" goodyear slicks that he probably isn't going to use anymore. right now they are mounted on rims that i wouldn't use anyway, but they are 15"x10" 5 bolt centerlines. i need a 15" rim to put it on because i can't get anything smaller over my brakes. i know they are way too big, but just wondering if there is a way to make them fit in the front end of my crx without hacking the quarters. perhaps i could make some just for when i go to the drag strip?

You could try rolling the fenders if width is the issue, that shouldn't make them look bad.

If it is a height issue you can drop out the fender liners, they are just plastic liners. Only bitch is that they are held on by like 15 plastic fastners.

yeah, i rolled the fenders a few years back when i had the car painted. removing the plastic liner would cover the clearance issue in the front, but i don't think it is going to do much for the back of the wheel well. i just don't think they are going to fit. what is the biggest slick anyone has out there?

I've heard of 26" on 13's but not 15's and 28's... Not sure how big you can go, I'm still using my little 20x8's lol

I think that you are gonna have to make some structural changes. I really can't see it working out. This is the perfect excuse to make a one piece fiberglass Hood/bumper/fenders.

And after you get them to fit, you'll need to find about 2 million horsepower to spin em'. :-\

Just get coil-over sleeves on stock springs and raise the car. I've got almost 24" snow tires onto a 1.5" lowered hatch before, so I could see fitting 28s if you raise it an inch or so, as for rear clearance... no promises.
