I didnt check this thread for a while. Only a few people really understood the point of this thread. Thank you.

I totally agree that Feadz post was a good looking 240 on 15's.

SileightyB - Thank you. You totally made me smile. In a good way. This is a perfect example of shots I was looking for.

HashiriyaS14 - Thanks for the good reply. I had alot of the same thoughts. I am not sure about flares, but I agree that it must be slammed rediculas. I just had a custom exhaust done, and I kinda wish I routed it through the car. I think my exhaust wont last long : )

To the rest. I am sorry I offened you. I personally dont like the look of a stock 240. They are my fav car, and I do like a simple clean look, but not stock. I love a crazy done (yet well done) wide body and everything, but most of my fav 240's are the ones with OEM aero that are dropped retarded with good wheel fitment. I have a nice 240, IMO, but my wheel fitment has always been crap. I plan to rectify that this year. But I was just trying to learn more and see if a 240 can look good, IMO, with 15's. I snapped because I think forums seem to have more trolls then real thought out posts. Just letting you know.

sileightyB is doing the thing properly, and the car could still go lower.

How sick would that look if those were white Wat R-types in that sizing? THE WORLD WOULD END.


Flares are only necessary if you absolutely have to be tucking wheel. As sileightyB has shown, you can come close enough without them so long as you're low and stock body.



To dudebro who was wondering about my terminology: Google

They CAN look good, but it's a different style. it's not the hella flush style is the more simple old school style. i like it but i do agree 17's are where it's at.

This is just my opinion, but if want the whole "tire" look, then I think 15"s are still too small with too high of a profile to pull it off. 16"s work perfectly IMO. It obviously doesn't need aftermarket aero to pull off the wheels like 17"s and 18"s do, but you still get the beefy muscle tire look especially if you are running wide tires. Here is my car, I believe the wheels are 16"x8" with 225s on.
