How much is it, cos I didn't think rolling cost that much?!! Flaring is a different matter tho!! :wink:

Personally, I ground mine (only a wee bit) but that's very naughty apparently!! :shock:

if they scrub now, was their any need to put such large spacers on? cant you go for a higher offset with smaller spacers?

Arch work is easy to do your self just scrape them back with an angle grinder, once the trims are on you don't notice. Remember to wax oil over any areas you trim back.

Is this still down to the 50 profile of the tyres?
