i am now reconsidering Luke's suggestion to put 15x10s on the rear, for IF i decide to take to shows n stuff, but was thinking would need flares too? and if so would they look ok?

the chassis still hasn't been put back to it original mounts yet so the option still remains. but just trying to get it past an engineer with these would be impossible, so i only want to use them for shows. I would be putting 15x6s or so on them for normal driving.

So what do you guys think.

here is the LINK for the rebuild, so you guys can see i still have AGES to go but want to think about the options sooner then later.

Hi Kirstie i reckon on a coupe flares and deep dish wheels look great but on sedans and ute i dont reckon they suit as well.
coupes have a bit more of a racer look but the utes and sedans are a bit more a of a tough streeter look. my 2 cents

Make it 3-0 in favor of no flares. They would horrible on a ute in my opinion. Tube would look killer though!!

stuff what everyone thinks, if you want them put them on. just cos one or two say they look sh1t is no reason to put them on.
make your car the way you want your the one who has to drive it.
they look ok to me

nah, pass, on that uste although width and colour are good, screw on looks cheap and nasty. if you do it, at least blend them into the body to make it smooth.
