you will probably only have to do some arch work on the front which is that you will need to cut the plastic bit off the inside of the arch as it will catch on full lock.

There's not much rubbing thoug tbh mate.

Check the FAQ on the site for arch mods.

it will rub on the bumper bracket at the rear, heavily down 60mm. Even at standard height on 195/45 it will catch lightly there

do some trial and error but id think itll need some modding to get it to work correctly, otherwise youll only be able to drive forwards and backwards lol

take the boxs at the back by the wheel arch,cut the lip on the plastic arch,and bend the bumper bracket back.
