Re: Ephy's FTO project
By the look of it those rims fit because the FTO is standard height, you may have a bit of rubbing if you go for a lower suspension setup.
BTW, rims look good, well done.

Re: Ephy's FTO project
yes altought i have coil overs ride height is about the same as standard only lowered about half an inch maybe.
... the trick will be to do the kit for it... that should be the next project after i manage to install the following to it
ps no i did not roll the edges
