Im undecided wether to cut or not cut my guards on my hatch , i like the look of fat tyres under the flares (on my SLR ) Posted Image

but i dont think i can stretch my budjet to Tub it so how big is the bigest wheel i can fit, i like the wheels called "Magnum500" ive seen these on a couple of cars with flares but im not sure whether they would look OK on UNFLARED hatch, also ive heard that they dont make 265/ 50/14 tyres anymore ??

Al though i do like these Boyd wheels on Posted Image

this hatch

I'm all for flares as I think they look hot and make the car look tuff. I can appreciate flareless cars but flares are my personal preference. Of course now all the flare nazi's (only joking guys) will be onto you about not doing it lol

Barman, Todd is going flares...

I, as always, am saying to leave it straight.

don't cut it, get the right offset and you can fit a big tyre. When I pulled the flares of yellowa9x's hatch, I found the wheels only just stick outside the guards and it has 275/50/15's on the rear! If the original guards were not cut they would not stick out.
