Puting 15 - 6.5's on my datto 1200 ute and was wondering if i need to tub or do ne thin to the body, i want to sit it as low as i can.... ???

my 15x6 trx rims fit perfect and my utes lowered by 2 inches all round without any mods should be fine try it.

all depends what offset the rims are,
i have 185 45 R15's on front, before the 195 50 R15 rubbed on the bottom front of the guard,

TRX are only 15 X 5.5.

I guess the answer to your question really all depends on how low you lower the car. As stated obove. 2 inches all round should be no dramas. Rim offset will also have a bearing on your question also.

I'd roll/flare all the guards.....not just lip them (if you want it really low).

On the fronts, you'll rub the firewall (unless you run adjustable castor).

On the rear, they should be fine, providing you lip/roll the guards.

I went around 3-4 inches lower. Can't remember, and not really fussed, it just looks about right!!

But l panel beat all 4 corners to have as much flare as possible.

sorry 2 hijack ya thread. just wondering wat sorta money i would be looking at 2 flare the front guards , so i can lower the front. i have heard ppl say approx 8hundered for bothe front guards. i have 2 take in 2 consideration respraying the guards 2

i had 15 x 6.5 on my ute, front wheel drive offset +40... had 5mm spacers on rear and 20mm bolt on spacersup front, was lowered a little on front and only ever rubbed at full lock and ful compression at the same time (eg turning and going over a bump) and that was slightly.
had 195 45 r15 all round....

as for the flaring, they can do it sometimes with out cracking the paint but usually do break it, then a spray is required... talk to a panel beat, or jsut go to those dodgey roller guys that do a slight lipping.

thanx guys... n yeah thanx tommy i also wanted to know bout that as well.. sounds like 2 inches is the way to go on a the budget as i've already run a few grand over... i'm positive it will be worth it for the datto but.. cheers

i paid $50 to get my front guards pumped and lipped..

then just had to repaint due to minor cracking..

shop around....
