All 4 arches rolled and kit trimmed to suit

8j on the rear would be better . try and go for ET35 . fronts at 7.5 j will be fine .

Thanks Guys, I think i will see if they do a 8j for the rear, as i have got 3 kids & Big dog and cant stand frigging rubbing noises everyday will drive me nuts. Thanks again

Im near southend if you get stuck mate , 8.5j will catch under any load .

The car will have a more FAT chunky look but it will drive like crap .People take looks over drive ability

if you decide to fit them,go for et35 all around with front tyre size 215/40/17' and rear 235/40/17,for best driving,and better car stand in the road!

ive sold the car mate.... i had standard 2wd brakes with uprated discs and pads...

on your front arch there is like a little metal tab that sticks out, i rolled this but that was it....

i did have a pretty stiff set up on mine

Sorry i don't, i used a proper arch rolling tool to do the arch's, the rears were then tapped in - and plastic kit trimmed back to beyond the metal.

I've two set's of wheels, my other set are 8j all round, et25 rear and 35 front and have no issues with rubbing at all.

tonyRS

cheers mate , thats exactly what i was going to do just leave about 20mm of plastic arch on

2Litre

8J all round et38 koni suspension 215/40/17 fronts 245/35/17 rear no rubbing or trimming of rear arches. (very close though on squat) T

its obviously the 8.5j on the rear thats causing my problems with 235s
