Does it matter how much work is involved? Give it a go

Wow! That's what you call stretched tyres. Looks good for that, really good.

I hail from the States, and my wheels and tires (tyres) fit properly. 245s on Advan RCII 17" x 8.5". Not all of us have aggressive fitment on our cars. (Not a good idea on the streets of NY.)

Cheers mate, I agree they are the best looking wheels for the newage, they really set the car off and make it look hard as nails!!!
EH52 WRX - I bought them through a Rota reseller, but Rarerims and Driftworks sell these wheels for about £880 without tyres

If you go for STD offset and not mad on the width of the alloy you won't need to roll the arches

My last car was a Nissan 200sx S14a, I put 18"s on, and rolled the arches. Nissan's have a problem with rusty arches, thats why i had them rolled. Thankfully i have a friend who is a fantastic car sprayer. Do Scoobies suffer from rusty arches !

As far as i'm aware they don't. If you get it rolled and the paint cracks it would need treating

Hi Bockett, sorry i should have worded that differently. Do standard arches rust because of the lip, with all the crap sticking to them. That why i did the on the Nissan.

Not that i know if. One thing i used to do on mine before they got rolled was when cleaning the car get up inside the arch there's a lip (that's what gets rolled) loads of crap sticks on there. Run your finger along it and see what comes off.

Better in fact
On that note I caught some touring car practice at the weekend and was suprised at how much camber this particular car was running up front.
