If you where to drop it another two inchs(i know u cant as for bodykit) but just say u could would the wheels get under the guards without hitting....

What size tyres are you running...??

If you where to drop it another two inchs
the camber is pretty bad - the wheels are a bit like /---\ atm, lowering would only incease the inside scrubbing... so id say id just clear it.. (atm, my camber is bad ass - the insides scrub a bit too much, need to rotate tyres every 5,000km (like my service) the fronts wear nicely tho, so i keep rotating to increase tyre life :)

but just say u could would the wheels get under the guards without hitting
put simply: with a correct camber - no.

Im wanting to fit 20 x 8.5`s on mine but worried about the wheels not getting under the guards.. they dont make 20`s in 8 so im kinda stuck. mine is 100mm off the ground now so i need to get them under guards as im not lifting the car back up...

a bad ass camber kit my friend.... one hell bad ass camber kit lol
you gotta flare and roll the guards to make it fit really well i think

haydn has 20s... but he hasnt got it anywhere near as low.

watchme has 19's he isnt near as low....

if you look at mine and watchme's rear ends, the rubber is just at the guard, tad bit underneith... its only under cos of the negetive camber lol

Just by putting the bigger wheels under it will lift it :P

Yeah i know that but not by three inches.. 245/35/20 are 22mm larger in rolling diameter so will lift it hardly nothing.. maybe a few mills..

19 x 8.5 here. i could probly drop the rear by another .5" but that would be about it. as for the front, im not too sure.

The Ego,

Head to a few tyre places and ask if you can 'see' what a set of 20x8.5's look like on the car.

If they are serious about selling a complete set of mags+wheels they would do this at least..
