You can fit a 315 by rolling the fender...why flares? You don't need 'em.

Ah i just was thinking of adding a wider look to my bird. i like how the fender flares look on corvette's . And i also wanted to go with something bigger than a 315's, like a 335. I dont want the tires to look like ther are taking up all the car, thats why i was thinking about fender flares. For some reason i jsut love the way wide tires look on cars.

^that's the best route you could go, but if youre short on money and you want it to be temporary than try these out, if you dont like them you can just take em off and trash em haha

your better off minitubbing the car. you can put your stock interior back in and you wont have to worry about repainting the quarters and blending the doors.

ill be attempting to make something like https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-body-work/981905-oh-no-not-another-camaro-wide-body-thread.html but from scratch for my ta (rear only though) when im done with my move in a couple weeks. probably an inch and a half to two inches per side, and possibly brackets to bend the rear bumper outwards a tad so theres not too much of the rear tire exposed.
