Well, I don't remember that the 315's looked *that* wide, but I do remember that they were more pronounced on the regular rear valence and flare-free arches. I even added spacers to the 4.8is so they'd stick out that much *further* than the wheels alone. I gotta have a pic of those things on the 3.0 somewhere...

Edit: Here we go- this is a good shot meant to show another adventure, but you can see the wheel width pretty well.

Lookin for these also made me remember why I never did flares on the 3.0- despite my preference against them. Don't you need the 4.8is rear bumper to meet the flares? They'd look pretty silly if they just ended at the bumper. Am I thinking ab this right or can you actually order lower flares to meet the arched wheel flares?

Here's a shot of a stock 4.8is with 315's and flares. Even though I only recently became a stance gnurd, they need spacers to my eyes. You guys? (Oh, and don't get me started on Estoril LCII- Lawdy ) So, where does it end? Add flares to cover the rubber, but then spacers to push 'em out? I mean, that's what mine has now, and I *love* it. But I don't think I'll start the path with the white one.

Here's another shot of a 4.4 with 315's on 87's. I gotta tell ya.. I *like* it. I can't wait to get mine in and mounted:

All of this made me wonder, Emory: Are those wheels in the stock offset? I don't really *know* if my 132 replicas are or not. Perhaps they don't stick out as far bc of that? Anyway, I finally found Bridgestone's newest tire for the 20" 132's I have. They'll be the 1st set I put on. Steamrollers, here we come!
