My car is standard height for now. I dont plan on lowering it until after the rims go on.any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers

If you have a ute do it anyway.Staino will then build you his custom tray.Only then should you go and look at his thread. Easiest way. Edited 15/03/12 08:11 PM by Paulie2256

(most likely not) also depending on tyre choice.Providing you only have the factory brakes they will clear the calipers. (Brembos dont even try)If your after deep dish like mine (3 3/8" backspace) you will need to shorten your diff around 180mm or do some serious guard pumping lol. 80mm each side.Fronts, you need to downgrade calipers and rotors to BA spec or NA spec, ie 298mm rotors. 6" with 3 3/8" backspace sits spot on in the guards on my fg.I wish I was around when I was trying to do this If I had my time again I would go THIS: with 15" rears and 17" fronts.p.s. now go away Edited 15/03/12 08:54 PM by STAINOnegger 1
