Hi all, I am after a bit of advice. I am planning on fitting a flare kit (probably the smaller one) to an LX with HQ stud pattern. I am pretty keen on 15x8 on rear and 15x7 on front. What size tyres would fit and look respectable?

Depends whether you're cutting the wheel arches as well?

If not then the flares are pointless, unless it's gonna have 4WD suspension?

If your going to the trouble of flares, fill the wheel wells up. Nothing looks worse than a flared car with wheel tucked back under the guards. I have 9.5's on the front with no clearance issues, all front flares are the same on LH-LX so start with a minimum of 8's, you can fit 7's under standard guards.
