You got the deepest dish pair I had, all the others were like the ones on the front of your car, so there should be someone out there willing to trade for the "cooler" deep dish pair.

The 1000 I built has 195 's on 7 " on the front rims they stuck out a bit just buy taping the lips a bit and pulling them out away from the tyre by hand they sit perfect to the naked eye you couldn't tell they have had work done on them

If the rims stick out then I suggest rolling the guards with one of those bolt on jap rollers that also have a lever to pump the guards also. The paint might crack though but I suggest you put a thin film of FRP filler on the guards to strengthen them and get rid of any inperfections also. Its worth keeping the wheels they look awesome. 175/50 would look insane also.

You could also put on chrome U plastic trimming about halve a cm in width. I had them on for RWC on my 2 door sedan as the lipped guards could slice pedestrians when its parked so I removed them when it was RWC to make sure no one got too close

Yeh i lipped the guards with a hammer and dolly before i painted the car. They came out real nice and used minimal filler too.

Ill just drive it and if i see that copper again ill cop it sweet. No reason why it wont pass roadworthy with a set of skinnyer wheels on it.

camber, roll gaurd (use a heat bun on paint), smaller tires. Its all been said and its all right!

Dont let the bastards get ya!
