Ditto ... I'm patiently watching for a reply to this thread post ....I'd like to know this as well. Current tires are good for range but less good for autocross haha. The Sapphire has 265/295 but the wheel arches are a bit extended to help with overall width. Unsure if 265/295 would fit on a trim other than Sapphire.
The front tires do fit (a 265 squared configuration should therefore work), but the rear tires will not without the fender flares.I'd like to know this as well.

I assume the flares are bolt ons (or stick ons?). If so, I'd be willing to get them just to fit the 295s. My hope is the wheel/tire camber in when the suspension is loaded so there is no rubbing on the standard fenders or inner liner.The front tires do fit (a 265 squared configuration should therefore work), but the rear tires will not without the fender flares.
Actually, the stamping process for the body is different, and then the fenders are tacked on at the end by workers. I do suppose you could just DIY glue them to the body, but do keep in mind you'd have to also match the paint!

This actually shows the stamping process is the same. They are adding the cutouts for clipping in the fenders later. This is the same setup the Integra Type S has. They also chose for cost reasons not to stamp different fenders. Use the same fenders and add clip on flares.

Oops, yet again I worded it confusingly. I meant stamping as in they added the cutouts, which I know is an incorrect usage of it. The regular airs do not have these cut-outs, however.This actually shows the stamping process is the same. They are adding the cutouts for clipping in the fenders later.

This is great information! Any chance you can provide bigger picture(s)?Actually, the stamping process for the body is different, and then the fenders are tacked on at the end by workers.

Leaves a bigger budget for the ceramic brakes!This actually shows the stamping process is the same. They are adding the cutouts for clipping in the fenders later.

Actually, they are stick ons, 3M tape I assume.I assume the flares are bolt ons (or stick ons?).
Perhaps the punched out holes in the body work as shown in xponents post above are only used for correct placement of the flares? I've love to get a good look at the back of those flare components before installation.Actually, they are stick ons, 3M tape I assume.
I'm my case, Lucid rushed a bit with the assembly.
Take a close look at the picture. Hopefully, you will see it.
KOP was able to fix it though.
I went with 275/40/20's in the rear, and they've been absolutely fine. My local tech said he'd probably stick with the factory size in the front (245/40) as you could risk rubbing, particularly on u-turns.I'm thinking about getting some aftermarket 20's and I'd like to get some wider stance tires to go along with it. Anyone know if you can run 285's on the back?
Yup, then you could possibly try a 285 on the rear with 265's at the front. That would keep an extremely similar "stagger proportion" to 265/245 as in the stock tires!I'd probably step up the front thread width in proportion to the rear tread width to minimize the differences in over or understeer.
