I just purchased a set of diamond racing wheels. Sizing : 14x8 -12 and 14x10 -12. Will the 14x10's fit with a roll and pull on stock body? or would a flares be required?

with some serious undersized tyres and a huge roll i wreckon you could just fit them. however, i can't 100% confirm this, i tcertainly wouldn't be an easy fit

the 8s will be ok on the front with 185/60 and some camber, but the 10j rears i struggle to see fitting without an overfender or bolt on guards. that is alot of width right there.

that's the osrta fitment on a kesev but of course the picture i've linked you to is 15's. on an 86 i'm pretty sure the guards sit a littole bit further out from factory

this is 14x10 -26 with a 185/60 tyre. Guards have flared ke70 arches welded on.

They dont even come close to "fitting"

14mm/ half an inch/ a bees dick in layman terms

those guards are far in excess of what the stock 86 ones are. Mine were higher too.

maybe get a 175/50/14 tyre on the 10's?

well if u pulled it off it would look hell weird plus ud prob be paranoid checking the air each second day so it doesnt pop off the rim,
most hastle free way would be bolt on guards man or sell rears get something like 14x9 0 or a little less

Now have 15 x 8.5 -6 and 15 x 9.5 -19 RS Watanabes, running 195/50 tyres, and pulled the rear guards a tad further so i can go a lot lower. Cutting vertical lips of my new front guards and then flaring so i can drop the front even further. Aiming for a 1.5-2 inch further drop all round.

normally the idea of wide rims is to fit wide tyres. you dont see lamborghini fitting 205s and stuff to their cars lol. :P

steelies? lol

Honestly 10s will look strange on the rear, even more so with 8s on the front.
