this is not quite right Jimmy, the 19's went in at my old ride height set up but I have then lowered it some more (current height) and this required a significant amount of guard rolling and pumping of the fronts in order not to rub on hard cornering.

Mod that tyre looks to be hanging out by about 15mm. I doubt grinding will achieve anything at all. How much neg camber do you have in the rear? Those guards need to be pumped out not rolled

+1 for neg camber, my 8.5's with +43 just fit under the guards. 9.0 with even lower offset aint got much chance without camber and/or pumpage.

ps, arm shadow is funny.

That picture is very bad that when I first got it and test fitted the rims
Now it has 2.5deg on rears looks more tame lol will add more camber once I sort some other things first

I will take a proper one when I get home its at TKO now getting re tinted for the 4/5th? time :P

I shaved 2mm on side and that doesn't rub now will take a pics of those hopefully and compare with the other side.

will pump/flare the guards later down the track

my puny arm...

Well that's cool if you have managed to get one side to fit, should be pretty straight forward to copy what you did on the other side?
