I don't think there is anyway to get a 16X7 wheel/tire under the front of a 1302 with stock fenders without a narrow strut spring.

I didn't say you couldn't get them under stock fenders, I said not with stock springs. You would have to got with the MaxxStruts or something like them. There is a wheel offset calculator sticky thread at the top of the wheel/tire forum.you can use it and do some measuring with a tape and strait edge and see if they will fit. You might have to down size the tires.

offset
...please....restrain yourself....the word "pimpin" belongs over on the rice board....
 The offset is marked on the inside of the wheel - right next to the size. It'll look something like - 16x7ET23.3 HTH,

K, sorry bout the word choice I'm not a ricer, far from it. So for the tires say maybe a 210 or 205/ 45/ r16, would that work. So if my wheels are 23 for the offset, then I could fit them under stock fenders with new coils? What coils would be the best for say around $300? Once again thanks for the help I'm a new person at all this tire and wheel fiting stuff.
Peace, Wil

if it is a 23mm offset, they should fit without new springs, but they will probably stick out past the edge of the fender. if it is a 52mm offset, they will need narrow springs/struts and a 10mm spacer to fit and will not stick out past the edge of the fender.
