Just got a set of 15x10 6ULs installed on my car with 245 Maxxis tires this past weekend. Looks great and drives great!

Sorry I dont have many more pix at this time.

I have a couple that show some of the work that I did to get the wheels and tires to fit:

Here is a pic of a test fit before I rolled and pulled the driver's side rear fender:

Details on flairs? Did you try mounting the tire and wheels without them?

I've had the flares on for a while now and didn't test fit without them, I know there's other people on the forum that have them mounted under stock fenders, but I think they require a heavy roll. What did you want to know about the flares?

What MM are they? Would you recommend more or less if doing it again ?

I think they're 30mm. After having autokonexion flares I would definitely recommend these, they fit the car much better

Is it acceptable practice to buy 205/50-15 VR1s and then use them as an excuse to lock in buying an NB2 for wife DD?

Totally would have bought these last week instead of the new Contis if they'd been this cheap

Makes me wish I needed tires. Assuming I store them correctly how long should they be good for unmounted? Probably going to want new tires next spring given the amount of miles I plan on putting on my Star Specs the remainder of this summer.

That would be fine. Put them in a closet in your basement.
