The wheel arches in the FB are actually pretty big. I'm running 15's now and they seem soooooo small Going to try a set of 17's with 215/45/17 tires this weekend. Pics will be posted.

[QUOTE]More info on the wheel setup.. Brand and tire?
Looking good... Love the new wheels../QUOTE]
Thanks
The wheels are 15 x 7 "Drag" DR 19 wheels from discount tire direct with a 40 offset on a SE suspension (4x114.4 pattern). (They are fairly light and cheap)
The tires are 205 50 15 Yokohama Advan Neova A008.

I'm really confused about the correct wheel sizes. Would this wheel fit my 85 SE? (in the stock fenders?)

premix, for f's sake

As a side note, Im not sure how they fit on stock suspension/stock ride height, Im on coilovers and camber plates (set with a fair amount of negative camber (-2 to -2.5*)) With my 7" coilover springs, my 205/50 tires are about 1/4" away from rubbing the lower perch, and my camber allows me to clear the rolled fenders on full suspension stroke. Also, when running at my ride height, the rear wheel archs need to be completely rolled and pinched

I highly reccomend this place, custom made pieces garenteed not to vibrate etc.... Very informative website.
It would be nice if we could have a wider choice of wheels that have the exact offset thats needed, but unfortunetly there is just not that much out there.

I'm really dumb when it comes to wheels, I'll let you know that from the start.
This will be the first time I am purchasing any sort of after market wheels for any if my vehicles. I'm looking to get a little bit of tire poking out of the fenders, and fill up the gap.
My car is a 1985 GS with drums in the rear. Will 15x8 zero offset wheels, 225/45/15 tires, and 1" adapters/spacers give me this look? Would I need to run a staggered set up with 15x7 up front? Suspension is stock.

15x7 30mm offset front with 205-50-15's
15x8 12mm offset rears with 225-50-15's
Coil overs, and no rub on the inside, but the rears rub just a bit outside during hard cornering
Rota RB wheels (haters can suck it- they are round, strong enough for what I'm doing, and I don't have parents to buy my wheels for me)
I was worried about the rears being too tall, but with the 60-1, now I'm worried my rear gear is too short!
