Rims look great....i thought rolling guards was only necessary if they are rubbing hard?

Judging from the last pic, maybe stiffer suspension and some neg camber might do the trick....i'll let the suspension gurus confirm/ deny.....

I don't think you'll need massive amounts of camber. But definitely flat roll the guard lips.

Looks awesome Steph!!

I'd roll the guards and maybe a degree of -ve camber just to help them tuck and you should be sweet! Could even go a touch lower!

Looks like Stephs running king or whiteline springs all round. Front is so low we had to lift the guards by hand to get Westy's 'lowered car' jack underneath. I think any lower would make it completely impractical to drive. It's about 60mm of clearance at the front ATM with the lip it looks!

Camber and a good alignment will make it look much better!

And you're welcome!

Not too keen on going lower, its annoying enough as it is! And yeah they are King Springs, I read Rhys's write up on the mods he did. Will be interesting to see if the mud flaps drag... will have to sus out when they arrive.

With the lip on you wont want to go any lower .. take it off, roll the guards and you can tuck all 4 wheels into the guards no worries with some camber with some coilovers if you want that look.

I was in the same boat and chose not to run a front lip in the end so i could go low and tuck them in, looks good.
