Yes a local sedan and quite a few stateside.

Johnny Walker’s is well known.

Its a training kit for full widebody, cut guards f&r is a big step to take regardless.

Yeah, it's just idle musing... I reckon it'd look tough AF though, love to see some pics.

Cutting the rear guards up would indeed be a big deal, probably totally rape the resale. But what I'm wondering, is would anyone have done it properly with wider suspension, or more likely everyone who's done it has just bunged deep wheels on and told the wheel bearings to suck it up, and tried not to think about epic scrub radius...

WTF I can't even.

Struggling to imagine how there's any room for the tyre on the inboard sides of the wheels, unless they've started making conical tyres and double diameter wheels for this sort of wank...

And damn, those poor CVs!

If you go for a 5x114.3 conversion, it adds +40mm or so to the track.

Eg stock gr sti rims are flush.

Fb member in melbourne Matthew Setaro has done this with iirc custom/hybrid rear hub assemblies.
