This is the only pic I have.
Basically the outer lip has been heated and bent up out of the way. Taking care not to impede any of the spring coils. I think the top of the lip has been removed so it doesn't hit the second coil up - if you know what I mean.

But the question is did the 19's go on without mods ?.
I'm guessing there was some work there.

Stilts maybe but at least they went straight on with no mods unlike some cars .
Can't be done with the lowering thing the handling is sh!t hot as it is and I don't want the hassle of having to tackle speed humps and driveways all the time, been there done that .
Lmcarguy if your question was aimed at me the ET is 48 and the tyre size is 225/40 18.

Thank you Mark, I appreicate the reply, but my questions was for the cosworth with 18's, I wasn't very clear, I have since found my answer on another post by fastmaul. Thank you Lmcarguy
"I had to mod the front arches, but then again, I had 225 35 18's. Coilovers and 35 offset. The backs were fine and was using 245 35 18 with 30 offset. Yeah, little rub here and there but nothing to big, just no pie eaters in the back seats."
