Now Custom.. you can't say that. You have to say something like "No, it will not fit, WITHOUT modification." You can do anything with the right amount of time and money. You should try jacking up one wheel, and removing a tire. Open up the trunk, and try to put it in. How much clearance are you missing? If the tire doesn't even fit into the hole, then just flat out forget about it, but if it does, you may have a chance.

Not gonna work. Too shallow and not long or wide enough.
I tried this a while back with my 1994 with a crosslace with a 225/60/16 tire found that it never laid flat and it stuck up about 3-4 inches.

I was thinking about getting a FS 17" rim matching the ones on my car (I can get one for less than cost from work that has been returned) and popping the trunk at shows, but I never test fit so I doubt that it would clear and look good doing it.....OH WELL have to try somethin else next car show season.
Thinking if im done with all the performance mods this year, next winter will be a new paint job, and undercarrage detailing/painting....maby 2006 will be a show winning year for ol BonEvil
