2 questions-
When I flare my car, I'm going from a 2.0 alloy 5.5x15 with 205x60x15 tires. I would like to keep the tire diameter the same on a 7x15 wheel and 225 tire. Would I use 50, 55 or 60 series tires? I think a 7 inch wheel and 225 tire might still have too much space between the tire and inside of the flare. Is there a spacer made that will fit a 4 lug wheel? I have read that the 4 lug hub takes a special lip on the wheel. Thanks, Mark |

If you can find a set of eights in the rear it would be better. Same tire size. AND you can use 21mm wheel spacers front and rear as well to really fill out the wells |
