Street or drag?
Radial or rag?

185/80/15 Nankang is on front of my sle but think it's probably 15x5 rim as it turned surprisingly well compared to scary ass front runners had on lc gtr for a short time.
165/80/15 would suit smaller 15x3.5

Hey mate,
My LX has flares - I had to cut a decent amount from the lower front edge of the flare. I also have HQ stub axles and my 15 x 4 Convo’s are the ones with more offset outwards (I believe there are 2 different offsets in that size). So there’s quite a few variables to consider here.
