Hi guys.
This question has prob been asked heaps of times so i will keep it short
Wanting to go fatter tyres and or 15inch rims
Standard UC with 4W discs, standard front springs and +30mm springs in the back
Curently fitted
205 60 14s hotwires mags 14x7, looks like 0 offset on the rims
Wondering whats the widest tyre i could go with standard gaurds?
Looking at 15 inch rims maybe. Kinda done with the 14 inch hotwires, worried about rubbing the lower front gaurds when turning
Dont want to go bigger than 15 as imo big wheels on old holdens dont look right
Any ideas???

I’ve fit 225/50R15 on the front of mine with a +12mm offset. A 15x8 would work with that. 
No problem with the front of the guard but the firewall needs clearancing and the guards need rolling

And Peter's car looks smokin hot in this department. Pete's is the best fitted (unflared obviously) UC that I've seen up-front. Although of course you'll need to lose the 4WD springs all round to achieve a good look.

 

Starting with a UC, you're in a much better position with the shape at the front of the guard.

 

Rear you could probably go to a 235 on a 8.5" or 9.0" at 0 offset if you wanted fitment to match what Peter has described up front. Will be nice and tight that way.
