I definitely want 14 x 8 -6 on the rear and understand I'd need more of a flare than 1" to make it work.

Am I going to have any other issues other than flaring the guards to get a 14 x 7 -6 on the front?

This is exactly what I'm after. I know that are Hayashi ST 14 x 8 -7. Would love to go 14 x 8 all round.

What size do you think the tyres are?

They look to be something like 195/45r14 to me. Although there is ALOT of stretch on those, they might even be 175/50r14.

Another thing to note is that those arches aren't just rolled, that's an entirely new arch from something like a mk1 Golf cut and welded on. If you want to run a wheel that wide, you might want to try ziggy's method he used on his green ute, although he went for 13x7, not 14x8.

The panel shop will be doing the flare job so will discuss with them when the time comes.

I was thinking of using a 195/60R14 tyre?

This website is your friend for tyre stretch:

https://tyrestretch.com/#homelist

The closest thing on that website to a 195/60r14 on an 8" wide rim is https://tyrestretch.com/8.0-195-55-R14/

The rear wheel on this Corolla is a 14x8.5 with a 195/60 on it.

195/55 and 195/45 doesn't look overly stretched to me.

DDgonzal ute has 14x8 with 195/60 and it looks fine!

Looks fine, but it voids the Advan tyres warranty. The tyre was designed to fit on maximum of 7" wide wheel. If you want the look gotta pay the price

The sedan looks to me to be stretched even more than that

If your really set on a look , get the wheels and tyres first, as sugested before, then work in the flares, wheel arch cuts, castor bars afterwards to suit - anything is possible and from the work youve done already , should look sweet

All the negative comments about stretched tyres and voided warranties makes me scared. I do love the look that but I do want it to be safe.

The manufacturer generally only shows one wheel in a particular offset (usually the negative ones because they look better) and it's hard to gauge whether or not I'd be happy with a more positive offset. Been browsing the internet trying to find real photographs of Hayashi wheels and find the specific offset.

Came across this Corolla.



















Wheels are Hayashi ST. Fronts are 14 x 6.5 +13 offset and the rear is 14 x 7 +7 offset.

Surprisingly, I actually don't mind the amount of dish.

which got me thinking. If I was to put a 14 x 6.5 rim on the front, I can put a 185 tire on it (within manufacture recommendation?). I now imagine the +13 is an issue with clearance to the strut?

The rear could sport a 14x7 +7 and run a 195 tyre which is also within the manufacturer recommendation?
