For the fronts, on a Flareless... I think you basically need the 15x4's


Not sure if bigger will fit under the fronts of unflared..

Thats correct Matt.
4's only under the front of an unflared LX.
3 & 3/8 offset from memory.

Yeah my car is flared, so can't really help. Matt has pointed out the difference though for those wanting to run a 15 x 4 on the front - there are 2 offsets available in that size.... one without the ribs (as seen above - suited to non-flared), and ones with ribs (suit flares).

I know other mates with LH/LX Torana's - with NO flares, and running 15 x 5's and 15 x 6's on the front... no idea on offsets or tyre sizes, but they fit fine.
