    15s and flares

    Anyone running 15's with fender flares? I have an 88 with bilstein sports and Ireland springs sitting on stock rims and tires. Want to upgrade to something a little wider. I searched and all I found was 17" setups. Surely someone is running a15 rim somewhere. I tried a 15x8 etc that filled the wells nicely but i don't think they would look good with flares.

            I run those wheels with spacers and 245 Hoosiers without flares. Soon changing to flares with 17's, there isn't really a good way to run big tires on 17's without the flares but I have to run them to clear my brakes.

              Thinking 225 or 245. The car pictured looks great. I'm going after the "dtm" car. https://www.google.com/search?biw=36...xSVzig#facrc=_

                check out the flares from kamotors, those look way better than the ones from DTM.

                  I like those. You know how much? Now i just need to know what rim width and offset.
