Anything can be done just make sure you have a budget that can afford your project goals.

You need to consider the ride height of the car before you choose the tire. If the top of the fender / rear quarter is only 33" from the ground when you set ride height then the max height tire you can go with would be 26" or 27". You need to leave enough room for tire travel.

You also have to consider the front wheel turning in the wheel well. Make sure that you have enough room to actually make an inner fender or use your stock fender if that is what you choose. Also make sure if you are running a turbo that you leave some room between the turbo and the innner fender so you don't cook the paint off the fender.

Rad Rides built the Chicayne with this tire combo and it required a bunch of modifications that you would never notice if you didn't see the car get built. The ride height on the chicayne is 4" from the ground when loaded using coil overs.

Front: 19” x 8” with Nitto NT555 Extreme, size 245/35ZR19 ( 25.75 tall )
Rear: 22” x 10” with Nitto NT555 Extreme, size 285/35ZR22 ( 29.85 tall )
