last pic is just after I rolled the arch and put the wheel on to see if it cleared. I placed the plastic arch there before trimming and gluing just to see what it looked like lol
rear is fine it's the front that rubs on half turn :cry:

i absolutely LOVE those wheels, the splits and the concave ones are better then the dished 15's.

think removing the arches would top it off!

8j et20 front, 9j et21 rear. 195/45 all round. tyre choice wasn't a option. had to be that size otherwise they would never fit  :grin:

Trim is staying on. not going euro look. staying with the OEM
