2 questions-
When I flare my car, I'm going from a 2.0 alloy 5.5x15 with 205x60x15 tires. I would like to keep the tire diameter the same on a 7x15 wheel and 225 tire. Would I use 50, 55 or 60 series tires? I think a 7 inch wheel and 225 tire might still have too much space between the tire and inside of the flare. Is there a spacer made that will fit a 4 lug wheel? I have read that the 4 lug hub takes a special lip on the wheel. Thanks, Mark |

Ok, I appreciate the answer, it all makes sense and would be easy to do if I had 5 lugs but I was hoping to do it with stock 4 lugs. Finding the 8 inch wheels in a 15 size has been difficult and I was told the 4 lug hubs take a special lip. on the wheel. Is there a 1 or 2 inch spacer made for 4 lug hubs?
I guess 2nd choice is to have front and rear hubs drilled for 5 lug. |
