anybody realised that once you roll your rear gaurds, if you are still getting scrub then it is most likely hitting on the tip of the rear bumper where it curves over?
i figured this out when my car was suuper full of shit and almost touching that as it sat in the driveway, filed the plastic away a bit and no more scub

my fronts scrub out on the inside of the guard (on the engine side of the tyres)
i'm gonna get it raised 1.5" at the front and 1" at the rear...
it's too low to be practical (also, bouncier), esp once my new front bar gets here from japan...

Which front bar are you getting Tristan? Is it the one you showed us in the General Thread some time back?

sorry mate...
but if you want your tyres out further, use a lower offset...
wheel spacers are illegal and bad news...

bit of both, have seen sets that change PCD, some that just space, most common are found on nissans converting 4 to 5stud
none the less, not the greatest idea
