15x13 -119 on the xB
Ok so here goes I'm gonna try my best to answer any questions you may have on how i did this. the wheels themselves are 15x13 -94 (15x11 up front) but i had to run lug adapters since they are 4x114.3. They are Ronal Racing wheels, aluminum barrels and magnesium faces. these weigh as much as a stock steelie lol. i got these form a local guy who bought em from a wheel collector and he couldn't tell me what they came off of. in fact i cant find anything about the wheels online anywhere. ok so here's the work that was done.
the lip of the rear wheels
here's how they looked when i got em. Then with some mothers polish and tons of polishing. Here's the car about 2 weeks ago. no mirrors no flares. Just a little poke
for the flares I used 3/32 thick plastic. here's the first one cut out next to my cardboard template. I used aluminum to make a skeleton for the flares to screw to. also you might ask why are there 2 sets of holes from the old flares?
I owned 2 sets of BBist flares. the holes didn't line up. can you say quality fail? haha Here's the cutting and hacking that Eugene and I did to the rear. First flare on along with some new Datsun mirrors. the second one done and finally all 4 done with pipes on.
So since i know it's gonna get said yes the rear tires are way too big. the only thing available in a 15 for a wheel that wide is racing tires. the ones i need are about 230 a piece so those are on hold for a little bit. the flares were a biiiiiiiiiitch to do. finally went out and got a dope Dremel with the saw attachment and that sped things up a bit i had to buy several sheets of plastic because i messed up on a couple of em. the fronts are cut up as bad as the rears including the kit. i can still barely turn the car. 19 point u-turns FTW! the front flares will be trimmed down a bit more as well this is just as it sits right now. i gotta give a big thanks to Eugene (eav10xb) for his help and making me finish it up when i was just beyond ____ed off at the whole project. the tires up front are 225/50 on an 11in wide and the rears i will be getting are gonna be 275/35. Umm, if you have any questions or comments post em up! Thanks.

UMMMM....I don't know wtf to think. =/
275 on a 13" wide wheel? For me to not stretch on my rears (20x13) I need to run a 345. How the heck are you running a 275? That's asking for MEGA stretch, completly intense and unsafe.

Holy BOSO! Good job on the flares, and the wheels are dope, they go well with them pipes! Those Ronal's look like some I had way back in the day for one of my VW's, cept they were about half the width. lol.

Ummmm... wow. I'm so torn. It's so unbelievable and beyond unconventional. I'd hate to try to drive that thing, but its tonka like quality is just so appealing... gah. I've never both hated and loved anything so much. Idiotic and incredible at the same time.
