Don't be daft, you will need flared arches to cover that :smiley:

Gonna take a fair bit of arch work but it's dooable if your willing to put in the effort. They'd better be nice wheels though :grin:

Rivet on arches FTW.

I think the Americans call them plastic overfenders...

Would be good for the mad max look.
