at the rear you will need to modify the rear bumper bracket

i just cut the fucker off and melted the archliners into place and then silicone sealed them, im down 50mm on 195/45 16s and i can take a full car and get no rubbing.

you could probably get away with taking the rear arch liner out and hammering the bracket down a bit then cutting the corner section off the arch liner

yep your spot on deano but if he has good 195/45 tyres then he might as well save the cash and do the modding but either way is finesmileys/smiley17.gif
