  1. Really interesting blog Bob. I am the new owner of the #14 Car. On mine the fenders stick out at least an inch past the sidewall which I find doesn't look the best. Are those the factory wheels for your car?

    1. Sorry for the delay, I did not see comments counter. My wheels are 7x13 on the rear with 205/60/13 tires. You can narrow the fender, add a spacer to hub or get wider wheels to get to offset to match.
