    They will fit but man you can't really grasp the size from interweb pictures. I didn't realize how wide they are.

    I am still ☺.......

    Thanks. When they arrived I was very anxious that the rear will be to big but it fits great. In fact I could fit there 345 on 12" rim with shortened exhaust or move them a little outboard and make some classy carbon flares in place of original wheel well moldings. Sky is the limit.

    Peace,
    Kacper.

    I didn't have much time lately but i managed to detach battery tray from wheel well. Looks like I am a lucky guy, metal is still solid, have some pitting but overall it is in great shape.

    DSC_0473.JPG DSC_0469.JPG DSC_0470.JPG DSC_0471.JPG It's starting to look like a car.....
    One question tho, I think I messed something here with lower brace to frame, should it be in front of the frame or inside? Inside it sits flush but when outside it binds.

    Peace,
    Kacper.

    Looks like I disappeared but I am slowly pushing and don't have much time left for posting pics, I'll try and post some update as soon as I'll find time to resize pics.... nowaday phones has to good cameras, even with the lowest settings there is to much information in a file...

    Peace,
    Kacper.
