WOW got any pics jap80x?

I still have the default rims on mine and I hate how they sit so far inside the car. Makes the car not as attractive as it could be. ASAP I'll get some 18" rims but to do this and have them flush with the wheel arch I'll obviously need to do some guard rolling yes?

Not neccessarily :wink: (mind you - rubbing up under the front plastic liner & wheel arch has led me to some home panel beating shall we say...)
All depends on the offset of the rim.

Ah cool thanks Bennoz. Is that as far as you can go out (your photo) and still be legal? If I could go further out I would. If so then definately rolling and what-not will need doing yes?
