I cant think of a better way of killing a perfectly decent saff Cos

Please dont go the S1 arch route. have you ever wondered why you dont see many Cossies with modified bodies.............cause theyre best left untouched

it would be easier to sell the wheels and get the correct offset

i wouldnt ruin it by fitting s1 arches on it they would look wrong and proberbly wont fit anyhow

what offset are they et15-25?

why would oversized incorrectly fitting wheels help it go round corners?
