I got some low low offset 15 inch enkei mesh, would that be adequate for these flares?
I'm running 15x8 -23 in the rear and 15x8 -4 in the front in the pics above.

thanks! i messed it up by not being careful. i first used a bat just to roll it, and somehow the left side flared out a little, so i used a real fender roller to flare out both sides, and one side came out good, but the left side kept flareing unevenly. then after i noticed there were rubber things between the fender liners, so it came out all lumpy.

Spirit Rx-7, your car is very nice looking. I think mud flaps would look awesome.

I think the flares are most attractive on ae86, 240s of course and Fbs
for our FCs i think the agressive body kit and wide body kit thing completes the style and
no need for flares.

for example, my buddy DK's golden FC


but that's just my preference.
