they were 15x8 front and 15x8.5 rears....only had the arches rolled on my new one as im not planning on going that wide at all. probably go down the route of some special special 16x7.5's

Had my fronts rolled as much as possible - as Tim said - the screw that holds the bumper on is now a funny worn down shape :lol: the rear I had flared out about 1" - never really noticed it - wanted it to look standard - but when I had the sides smoothed it looked more flared then!
