Denny,

Those are merely guidelines. Whatever you can fit under the car without rubbing (on suspension or body)...will work. You have to properly test the fit on a larger tire on the front end using the entire turning ratio, L to R. And always add a little (1/2 to 1 inch) to accommodate tire flex.

I know someone with a Contemporary with 335's in the back (17 inch rims).

Heck, on my 289 (which has slighter wheelwells, I'm running 245's up front.



Question...If you had the manual, why didn't you use the alignment specs in it??? Just curious.
