Tires...

Yeah, that is what I figured... One person says, "Don't do it." and another says "Just be careful!" I suppose I will just have to get two tires mounted and just try them out in the front for a little while. The only thing now is, do I try the 245-45s or the 245 -50s first? What do you think? drudis, I know you were saying that I just have to be careful, but, I don't know if ripping around corners in an auto-cross would be being careful, you know? I hate to rip the heck out of my fenders. I just spent way too much money on my paint and body work to be doing that! But, on the other hand, I know a larger footprint in the front would really help in an auto-cross. I hate to just use 225s... That is no better than my stock rims...
Also, if the tires did rub, where would the rubbing be? Are we just talking about the black plastic inside the fenderwell, or the actual fender? Is there any modifications that I can do to that inner fenderwell to make it accomodate the larger tires that you know of? I know I could get some '91-'93 fenders, but I am not going to do that...
I am thinking as cheap as possible here! :-)
Thanks all...
