yeah i can fit 24s with 25 series in the front of mine with stock hood.
hood supports need to be cut for it but it works.
overall dia has to be around 780 max to do it on mine and u said ur BD is past sills. mine is just past the sills and thats all i can fit.
im interested to see it when ur done. u dont have many options for tyres even if u get a less than 10inch wide rim.
here is what i have found that fits on mine.
over all dia is 782 mm (30.8'') - 285/30 R24
NITTO NT420S 285/30R24 103V 2853024
Cooper Zeon 4WD Tyre Specifications
over all dia is 748 mm (29.4'') - 275/25 R24 - i wouldnt run a 25 personally.
275/25-24, 2752524, WANLI S-1089, 275/25/24/, 275-25-24, S-1089, wanli, 24 Inch, tire
the tyres are out there but just need to decide if its goin to be a driver or a show car.
i no i cant afford 2 sets of rims for the front!!
your rides goin to be killer either way bud. keep at it.
