it all depends on your suspension setup and whether your leafs are worn. i'm running 215/65/15 on my car, with air shocks to prevent rubbage. but the tires are tall.

the flare is about 4", its a kit from Maier racing that the previous owner had installed,
I've decided I like them and it does allow for some rubber gtss |
