15x6 mini-lite rims. 205/50 tires.
Will these just bolt on (non-flared), or will I need spacers, etc? Thanks |

They're usually 6.5" wide, have seen several sets on cars--all stock narrow body and no "pulling" was needed. If you can try to mount before committing, aka try before you buy. They look sweet! Good luck!

It's a definite maybe. The wheels do bolt on, but there is usually some rubbing aft of the shock tower on the inner front fender when the steering wheel is turned full lock. And there is often, but not always, some rubbing on the fender lip of one rear fender or the other. You may need to pull the fender a bit for clearance.

I ran them back in the day on my six; the 6 1/2 in by 15 in. version, with 195/50 Yoko's. Plenty of room, even on the track, with stock fenders that had the inner edges rolled, and flattened a bit like we all have done. Nice wheels too!

I would TEST fit them and drive them. It has been noted over the years that there is a lot of difference from side to side on these cars.
