Basically I have 6 and 7 inch rims at least as I remember. They may be 7 and 8 but my question is can I use these rims with GT flairs ? If so about what spacer size would I need. I think I would like to go with some flairs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I am plaining to drive up to Washington State soon (1200 miles one way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ) and I have the chance now to have them installed while I get the car painted.

You can certainly use those wheels with GT flares, but as others have stated, you will probably want to space them out to better fill up the flares.

How far you want to space them, how low you want to set your car, and what sizes you want to use are totally up to your own preferences. It all depends on what you want to use the car for.

If it is just for show and you want it to LOOK cool, you can slam it down and space the wheels out until they almost rub, or on the other end of the spectrum, if you want it to DRIVE cool, you may have to make comprimises to allow the suspension to work.
