I suspect it would / could be altered to fit any bumper..

I like it and think it looks good the difuser and has a worthwhile function but although this is my fun car I also use it from time to time for periods as my daily drive.. I am at the moment and I fill the boot with mapping related gear.. to have to either carry no spare or fit it somewhere else and have a flat boot floor won't work for me, at the moment anyway.

Press RETURN after each pic. All your pics are in a line making the pages about 4 times its normal width.

That's a very nice wheel/arch combo, looks well aggressive!
Would these arch's fit with the Subaru splash guards? I can see mud splashes up the car being a big problem, a set of flaps might be a good investment.

If you do have a look at the mini flaps that are available now. Would be nice and subtle imo and not distract from the width of the flares.

Whats the pcd on those wheels? the only ones I can find so far with that offset are 114 and I got a classic. Have you changed the hubs?? or my alternative would be spacers, but what thickness and what problems would I encounter with the different stress levels on wheel bearings etc???

You can get these wheels made to any spec width/offset, you just have to pay your money and wait....

Of course you are going to put extra stress and strain on the wheel bearings, but I would allow for a new full set of wheel bearings as 'running costs' at some point, and you'll be fine...
