I was wondering what the biggest tires you can fit on a FD? I currently am running 275, could you fit 305-315's? I don't want to start breaking thinks either so I might just keep what I have and deal with the wheel spin. Just curious.

285s on aftermarket rims are the widest most run without fender flares.

315's you need coil overs and trailing links, plus you need to either roll the rear fenders or cut the lip off.
