Nice!
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yeah I like them, looks good. I wouldn't be worried about rolling my guards but I can only seem to find them in the US unfortunately.

Wow, this thread totally skipped 2017! Let's get some pics up in here. If you posted previously, but it was with PhotoBucket, maybe repost? Or even better take some new photos?

Hi there
With this setup, do you need to roll or pull the guard?
Thanks!

Yeah, 15x8 +20 is pushing it IMO. Should just need a roll though. Better to take the time and to it, than have your fenders bashed and pulled by the tyre.

I used to have 15x8+25 on my NB, with a 205/50/15 fitted.

That fit without the need for a roll, but it was tight, as in, it literally only just cleared the inside lip of the rear guards by 1mm or so.




the +20 will sit 5mm further out, so will hit the inner lip.
