Jezza, forget the flares mate way too much work to do it, which would I believe necessitate an engineer sign off to make it legal. I'm running 18X10 on the wagon with 285 tyres & I had to cut a good 40mm pretty much all the way around the wheel arches to give enough clearance. My wheels stick out 68mm more than the standard outer like of the guard.

Bigger wheels also mean more load on wheel bearings, more load on driveline components, etc, etc. Just get a set of nice wheels, with the correct offset to fill the standard guards comfortably.

P.s Burke is gay with Tommy Tran
