Even at the front? I know the back wont be too much hassle. I take it I would have to have coil overs and serious arch mods to get 8 inch wide wheels under the front arches?

Slammed 3 doors or saffs look pants imo
People who say their wheels rub etc..ought to try making their ride height more sensible and they might find the wheels will fit
