| use a 165 45 as on the rear and they'll give a bit ore clearance with losing the stretch | |

| I'm not a fan of mega stretch either, but if you can close the gap completely I reckon it'd work well
Wouldnt be very driveable though, not on these roads | |

| o dear you didnt want to do that lol was that just from a pothole? yer am driving abit carfully at the min, the roads are a nightmare. thanks for the coments but i doubt the stretch will be going i love it so once the coilovers are on im looking for something else to get for her maybe sort out the boot build because at the min i have a sub box that actually takes up to hole boot lol (nightmare) | |

| You need to get some bags on the go to work with that amount of stretch. So the arch is just about resting on the gap between the tyre and lip. It would probably work if the face of the wheels werent so concave. The tyre gives a slanted edge of stretch, and the face of the wheel is concave so slants the other way. Not a fan. But hey, if you like it, its cool | |

I was going to ask were they hard to fit. But by the sounds of it you didn't have much luck lol well i thought they were hard because im s**t at maths and you gotta work out the right angle of camber and toe-in etc, they only broke because it was freezing cold and made them brittle and when matty cut them they cracked, wasnt fully his fault , we used washers in the end. | |
