Yeah, I posted about this over on Spyderclub. 16" in 4.5, 5, 6 and 7 would be unprecedented. Imagine running a 205/50 or 55/16 on a 6 inch rim in the front and a 225/45 or 50/16 on a 7" in the back. Do a pie cut on the back of a Speedster or Coupe and narrow the suspension in the front. 

I think it's possible to do tasteful flares on a Spyder or with true IRS a narrowed rear could put it all under the fenders.

Greg would be the guy to get this going. It is going to have to happen anyway eventually with the tire choices going the way they are. I've seen 80, 100, 150, 200, and 300 treadwear ratings in the sizes above.

Looks like we're thinking alike, Danny!
