Wayne, I chickened out on the 215/50-13's and trimming the fender lips.
I have 205/60-13's and haven't scraped yet, although I used to on my old
185/70's with the wrong offset wheels. In retrospect, perhaps I should
have considered 205's on the front, 215's on the back.

You've already seen some of the pros & cons; the 1st thing that came to
mind when I read it was the possibility that you'd get it all into the
car, _then_ find out you'd have to drop the motor every time you wanted
to remove a valve cover. It really looks that tight back against the
firewall.
