What model 80 series? Pre 92 they fit straight on. post 92 has bigger brakes. The normal 15x8 sunnies with neg22 offset fit on the front. But need a spacer plate to stop binding on the rear. 4" lift fits 35's

I have a 3" lift to clear 35" simexes, with small cutouts of inside of plastic flares. Another option is 2 + 2

Yep, I have 15x10 neg 44's (eqaul to 15x8 neg 22) on my 94 80 series. Just need to space the rear. Solong as they are steelies. Alloy rims are thicker and wont fit.

you can trim a tiny bit off the rear if your into that sort of thing. i havent had/or mates caliper crack/break if done carefully........not that its legal to do so!! only did it cos slight trim isnt as noticable as a spacer(althouh both are illegal,QLD) wasnt wasting another couple g on 16s wen 15s were so much cheaper and wheels came of 45 i sold. they were -22 15x8 steelies. painted high temp black you couldnt tell the diff unless you knew that 15s touch on the rear but not the front of later 80series. yes its sounds dodgy but so is the 5 day old takeaway.........that i ate :twisted:

Just a cheap generic/universal 12mm alloy spacer plate should do it.
