Will I need a flare??

I am considering these wheels. With the low offset, I don't think I'll need fender flares, but will it rub inside, how will they fit?? Any help is appreciated.

edit: Sorry, I have an 88 SE.

Your 88SE should be a 4-bolt pattern?
The link shows 5 x 114.3 explicitly, and this will not fit on your car.

Man, I should really proof read. My car is an 88 with sport package, 5 lug, LSD, hard suspension, 4 piston calipers.

If you've got 5-lug, then it's a matter of what size tires you're trying to run?

225 (not really recommended) on that 9" +15 front will fit, but we're talking serious hipari here.
Anything wider than a 235 will not fit up front on an FC.
The 9" can easily handle a 255...265 wide tire.

Up to 255 in back is no problem.
Stuffing a 255 wide tire on a 10" is hipari also...not recommended.

The width and offsets will clear everything inside no problem.
It's just a matter of the tire will clear the fenders.

Ahh, thanks for the info. I am not too much into the hipari, so I guess I'll keep looking for wheels.
