Only for the tyres poking out too far?! Doesn't sound like it was your night. I hope the flares get you passed, otherwise there's a pot load of work ahead of you!

How the hell do you get your wheels 7.5cm out of the guard?? That's almost the whole tyre width!

I'm most curious!! Is the L series control arm mod that does this??

A liitle bit of guard cutting removes some of the rolled out bit. Plus custom controll arms (yes L arms do cause this but not quite as much) plus offset of sunnier was made to fill out as much as possible. Even the rear as standard the tyres are a fraction out.
