Auto Fitment Calculator been dead for a while now

So the Auto Fitment Calculator is down and has been for a while. Link to the calculator by itdansharpe: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25177
You used to be able to use this: https://web.archive.org/web/20160302...roject.com:80/ and you could still use it but now it will let you put a couple fields in and redirect out of it.
So Dan has been gone for a while and appears to have lost interest in his nice little tool there. Is there anything close to this tool that will show you where our fender sits.
Is it possible to take that and make it active again or is that like an old unused car parked in somebody's yard that is still theirs that cannot being used by anybody?

Www.Willtheyfit.com This really helps.

Tirerack.com has a great tire calculator.

I use these websites. If known limits are used, which can be found in the wheel directory and the meaty tire thread, you can figure out if something will rub the strut or fender.

His personal site still looks up, maybe try getting a hold of him via his contact at dansharpe.com?

I looked at what wayback machine, not sure how they archive, but it looks incomplete, I do not see relevant javascript files in place (I'm assuming this calc is built with that), because it just has static html page, but nothing backing that up.

I remember using his calculator and I liked that it's more FRS specific, and it did show fender diagrams, but I remember it seemingly being a bit too conservative when I plugged in the "golden standard" 17x9+35 setup when I was trying to figure out how much camber would make it look "flush".

None of them seem to do a proper calculation for any amount of stretch, where that original "frs project" page seemed to do a pretty good job. Most just ignore the effects of a wider rim (all things being equal, final diameter should decrease as you increase rim width) but this one might be considered worse since it seems to want to add surface area to the tire.
