When pasting images to the site, right mouse click on the image, and copy the image url. Then use the image tags.
When posting pics from facebook, click on the image to be seen in full size, then copy the above directions.

A quick photoshop is handy to see if the style of the rim works with the car -which is probably the most important thing, but to get a better idea of what it will look like, you need to consider the size of the rim and the approx offset. Are those 14in or 15in and how wide are they?

I took more than half an hour to photoshop- but i'm a fan of B45s and GBs and i wanted to see what they'd look like together too!
Here's my best guess for the fit of 16x8 B45s on your galant (i've assumed friendly offsets)- you're gonna need flares but i reckon it'll look sweet.

Quote 75glnt... by image url. do you mean the http//: bit up the top? or is it somwhere else?
The http//: bit is the address or link if you link
By placing [url]at the start and[/url] at the end of each link it displays that address as a link, and by placing [img]at the start and[/img] at the end it displays the link as an image
eg:
This is what the image of your galant with the simmons pic would look like in code if you wanted it to appear as a pic
[img]http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae34 ... estfit.jpg[/img]

Use the preview option before you submit? That way you can make sure it works before you post it.
And learn from what you are doing wrong

Don't worry, it took me a long time to learn

yea i keep forgetting the preview button. thanks mate. sorry it's on the wrong link and the whole things getting off topic. but i'll learn :)

back on topic though. id like the flares on the galant. but im unsure on how it'd look with the thinner tyres (195 or close to) so i can keep the lock.

I'm not sure if Simmmons B45's would suit the stretched tyre look?

It is as much about profile as it is about width.
If you are wanting to run 15x8 on the back I think a 15x7 or even 15x6 would be nice for the front. If so you can run a 185/45 and it shouldn't foul on anything, again dependant of offset.

My GC runs 15x8 +-0 on the rear and 15x6 on the front. Not sure of the fronts offset as I run 35mm bolt on spacers :z
But as you can see there is not too much stretch running 185/45 front tyres and 205/50 rears.

So... To bring this back again... I'm still after a set if mags. Lol :facepalm:

I need a favour.. Again :P

I'm after 15" minimum, 6" wide minimum, and... Something sporty but period correctish :)

So Rota rb, OG axis, etc.

Unfortunately! 15x7 -0 won't fit up front :( lol. Sticks out 40mm on stock struts. I could go gh struts and have it flush... But then I need to buy those :P (ps if anyone has cheap strut/brake setups for sale or anything. I'm keen. Even no springs or shocks. For like $100... I'd post a wtb ad, but it's not really a need, so I'm not really looking. But if they're cheap :P )

Anyway!

If anyone has any suggestions on rim style. Shoot away! :D

Doh! totally blanked out that you got a GB :facepalm:. That I don't know.

My Coupe (GC/GD) tucks 15x7s in the rear fine and I Toyota 8 inch Rear axle in mine (wider than stock). Since the wagons are a mix of both generations of Galants, the enkeis I have on it are 14x6 +33 and still have a bit of room to grow in the rear.
