How long does the job take?
Maybe in the next month or so, we could organise one of the above mentioned providers to do 5+ cars at one place.. I know of at least 2 that are in need of probably all 4 corners being done?

Thoughts?

It took about 45 mins for des to roll 4 corners on my car and he had to do it all by hand as well.

Won't you need coilovers to squeeze 9.5 +38's in there without rubbing? I thought it was pretty much mandatory for anything more than 18x9 +42?

Depends what tyre you're planning to run. Wide tyres (say 265) will require more fender work than a narrower one because they sit squarer on the rims.

Assuming you run a moderate 245, you'd still need guards rolled and fenders pulled most likely.

(I was planning the exact same purchase and my information is based on what I have read on NASIOC, so don't quote me on this!)

Tristan, if you run stretched tyres, you'll fit with camber and guard work, if you want to run 255 tyres (like I am running) then you may need to pump guards too

Then pick some different wheels. You'll need to roll all the corners and probably fender pull/tyre stretch/run big -ve camber.
