Re: ADZSKI's FTO, NATASHA
id say they only reason they fit is because the Tyre is stretched.
I still need to roll the guard but after that id say there is nothing else that needs to be done.

Re: ADZSKI's FTO, NATASHA
the 9.5 fit fine, ill do a little video soon so you can see what its like.
and yeh ill put the 9.5 on the rear, but mainly because i want to see how the 10.5 fit up front cause i wanna put deeper lips on the fronts.
also the tyres are
Front
215/45/17
Rear
235/45/17

Re: ADZSKI's FTO, NATASHA
Bit of stretch that. Why not any wider at the front? Given it's the same profile.

Ahh, fair enough. Interested to see if it fouls on the front of the bumper at all while turning.

Re: ADZSKI's FTO, NATASHA
235/45/18 all around on mine, after flaring the rear guards I had no issues there, but the front scrubs a lot.
But being that yours are smaller all over I can't see toooooo many issues...

Re: ADZSKI's FTO, NATASHA
i don't think i will foul the bar, if it does i will just shave it back.
i have to change the rear tyres as they are worn badly.
considering going with what is on there now 235/45/17 or possibly maybe a 245/35/17 or maybe a 225/35/17 but that scares me abit. (waits for Daniels facepalm)

i was going to go with a 18" set of wheels instead of 17", but with the width and offset thought it might be to much of a head ache to make it fit.

Re: ADZSKI's FTO, NATASHA
Yeah, I kind of wish I went for 17" as It would also allow me to lower the car a little more, but meh.. haha
