yeah they do look like they stick out quite a bit. might have to smooth the arches into the body like jills.

So what can i do about this i dont really want to go wide arch route beacuse then i will need 18's.

Even if i cut back the metalo i think it will rub 40mm down.

There is a fair bit of arch work that can be done and alot of room made!

When mine is jacked up at the front the bottom goes about and inch over the rim not the tyre the rim!

And it would still roll then! But then thats 16s!

Wheni had the 17s on i could still go at least 60mm without rubbing and a reackon 70mm on the rear!

Yeah but they were a better offset. These must be like et40 becuase with standard suspension it rubs on the rear over large bumps.
