Larry, I do not think the front wheel clearance will
be the problem, flared or not, the rear opening is a
bit restrictive however.  I am using 280 Z wheels (the
5 spoke alloy that kind of looks like a 2 part wheel)
6"X 14" with 195/60X14's and it is extremely tight.  I
had to move the body over about 1/8 inch to stop a rub
when I went over bumps.
