Admittedly that was the last day on a week long trip, can't argue or it's the waste of quite a journey, fuck paying for some grass lol!

thats the whole point of tha archs so when your wheels foul the oe arches you cut them off and put the extensions on

obviously there cant be an issue with touching so no point in badly fitted extensions

Maybe he's fitted them because the tyres stick out past the arches. Its not that low either and rubbing dosn't look like an issue. Tyres sticking out past the arches is though.

mean as hell.

Just fitted wider front arches on the GTR (50mm wider track to match wider rear) and you hardly notice it!



before standard body - aprox 60mm narrower all round




Impreza before



now about 100mm wider all round
