Haha they wont be an easy fit but thats clearly obvious  :evil: Will be worth the effort though.

I'll try and snap a front wheel shot tomorrow to see how they fit as they are the 'not so 9" wide ones  :laugh: :grin:

Yeah would be good to see what they are like lock to lock when turning.
I'm thinking trim wheel arches and re-strengthen them then wheel arch extensions as don't think a flair will go out that far.

Yeah a lot of work will be involved so you would have to be 100% sure.

I know I'm happy to do the work involved but in the past week I've bought piston rings, 12 big ends, various bearings, crank seals... Along with headbolts and waiting on a 4mo mls head gasket. So you could see why I could let them go  :cry:
