Isn't Kells running 8's on a 80mm drop or something?!

I'm sure you'll be fine if it's only dropped 45mm!

Kells is running 8j all round, 7j with 195/45/16's will be fine.

yeah, , kells got 8j on rear with like a 80mm drop but believe arches are flared/rolled.



just don't want to pay out for a set, refurb, new rubber and adapters for it to rub at all even with a car load.

If you get an 8j at ET52 with a 30mm adapter then you will have an et of 22.

Mine dont  catch but my rear suspension is pretty stiff. I can get a couple of mates in the back no worries!
