Thumbs up Wheels with fender flares?

Alright, I plan on buying a set of flares for my 82. What size wheels should I get so it fills all that extra tire room?!?! Maybe some of you guys that already have flares on your cars could help me out with some pics of your car with the size wheels you have. Thanks guys!

He also only has the flares on the back.

Worked for me.

Those are sexy old-school wheels. Ah, 4x110, how you ruin my day.

I have dual wheel patterns, 4x110 and 4x114, best of both worlds.

Thats AWESOME!!!!! Well fellas I just bought a brand new set of Rota RB rims, the 15x8 in the back and 15x7 in the front all in the silver color.. I'm waiting for them to arrive but while I'm waiting what do you guys think of those? Would they work with flares or are they not wide enough? They have an offset of 20 I do believe.

Weren't the 7/8 combo +15's? Make sure you post pics ASAP! I tried to get that company to post some pics, but it never happened...
