Done some searching but cant seem to find what size rubber will fit under non flaired LX sedan guards.
Whats the biggest you guys have run? Will I get a 255/40R17 under the back and 235/45R17 under there with the correct offset and no rubbing?
Biggest tyres for LX sedan

235/60/15 ET streets on back. These have wide shoulders and there is still space left over. I suspect a 255/50/15 would be Ok with the right rim offset.
205/60/15 on front with space to spare.

Cool thanks guys. Might have to experiment with some front wheels and tyres to see what can fit!
If I can even squeeze 225's up front that would be awesome but I'll see how far my luck goes...

anyone have 215-60-15 or 225-60-15 on the front of an unflared lh,lx,uc torana?
im looking at usein convos 15x7 1/2 in torry pattern with a 5in back space
or convos in a 15x6 with a 3 3/8th backspace on the front of my unflared uc with none or 1in lower in front.
iv searched and i believe that if i use a convo 15x7 1/2 with a backspace of 5in i can use a 225-60-15 or 235-60-15 on the rear would this be correct?
thanks Matt.

5" backspace on the front sounds like it may be hitting things, 4" is closer to the mark but runs a 7" rim out to the guard edge.
If you go much over 600 diameter you may find the front tyre grabbing the bottom front wheel arch.
205/50 15 series tyres brings the diametre within under 6mm of standard.
I would be borrowing some wheels before laying down hard earned cash.

o ok thanks mate didn't realize that 5in back space on front may hit things i may just get the 6in with a 3 3/8th back space convo pros as i don't want to change my stud pattern and i like the convos
and ill put 205-50-15 on.
thanks .

You will get a 7" on the front but best to check one first for what back space suites if you can borrow a rim.
