When I fitted them to the car I found the rears were only a few mm off touching the guards and the fronts required a few degrees of camber to get them to fit under the guard. They do fit nicely now I've had all the guards rolled, but did take a bit of work to get them to fit.


Yeah, having done more research, I'm thinking that 9.5 may be a bit ambitious. I'll probably end up going qith a 9 inch rim to make things a bit easier, and I'm already planning coilovers, rolled fenders and a couple degrees of camber to make ot all fit.

This is the thing, it takes work to make it work, and if you are crazy low it will rub anyway.
The better it looks the worse it will ride :P

Currently getting the rear guards rolled for precaution.
