Yes mate they'll fit a wagon , they're not really meant to be blended in but no reason you couldn't .
I'll let you know how many hours

Cheers Darren.

Also, if you run wheels that fill the wider arches, say an 18x9 ET30 with a 255/35 tyre, what sort of suspension travel will you have on compression?

I guess it depends on how much arch material you cut away, but what is the maximum you could achieve?

The reason I ask is I run my car at the Ring quite a lot (5 or 6 trips a year)and it's pretty bumpy compared to UK tracks.

just a quick question about them why havent u made them so they go to the bottom of the sideskirt and the bottom of the rear bumper why stop half way up and just cover the top of the wheel so wen ure flying along the road stones can still rip up the side of the car or back bumper would need a set of flaps to sort that out also

It's the style that everyone was after Probably wouldn't be that hard to adapt a set to go all the way around.

Someone mentioned they're available before. But pretty sure they were about £400 quid a set
