I used to, on a 35mm drop and 215/35/18 rubber. Just need about half an inch cut out of the wings all the way round the arch, and a few bits taken out of the metalwork on the inner wing. Obviously no sh*t guards at all, put them in the bin. The back has plenty of clearance once the sh*tguards are out.

btw theres some pics of mine in the gallery from when it had 18s.

I am thinking once i get the car low enough on 18s ill swap then over to 19s

what about the power loss?

youll smash it to pieces and itll drive very badly. i cant see why youd want to do that....

yea, im thinking of upgrading to 24"s with spinning blades, for my 1.2 stretched billabong

I think I am going for 18s maybe 19s for show use and then 15s for the strip, but if you get a nice thin rim maybe 7" then you wont have any troubles dropping it on the back, just as Nick said with the front arches.

Yes the 7x18" should go nicely and allow a very low drop. if this is the case then ill change over to 7x19" rims. This will be a show car once I have built it and when I rip the 250 BHP up the strip it will be on 16" rims to allow me to get power down.

Thanks for you help.
