Looking at that my guess is it hasn't been lowered. Also I'd have a guess and say they were 18s not 19s like the pics above it. Just guessing though.

Maybe its the photo angle, but when you look at it normally it looks like a good fit. I didn't want to go too low for practicality reasons, and I think it looks good at the height its at. Its at about 150mm from the side skirts to the ground so there is plenty of room for more low if I decide to in the future though :P

Thanks Chris :)

Hey guys,

Quick question (i haven't seen it on here at all so please be nice if it has been covered).

I'm looking it the Ultrex 18x8.5 Viper. My wagon had no suspension mods done to it at all. I will be using it to tow a small tradesman trailer. Anyone on here had much experience with towing and how much clearance i will need on the rear??

My tire guy is very ify about as to whether it'll fit fine. He suggests the 18x8 so i have no probs at all.

Cheers for any input guys =)

well mate im running 19x8.5 on mine, no guard work and on stock billies.. only scrubs when i hit big ditches at speed. (which i dont do very often) if you found stiffer springs it might help the sag from the trailer maybe? i am also running a sedan, but i couldnt imagine they would be much different!
