Pretty looking car, finally someone's fitted those wheels with some real tyres and not the soppy stretched bands you keep seeing. Looks great as it sits.

They are et38's, fronts need spacers. Originally 3mm, they did clear but only just, so for piece of mind I got 5mm.

Just as an update with the rear arches, I have now ground away what small lip there was. After finding a big dip in the road at 60, the rear rubbed. Since modding the rear's myself this has solved that issue, same piece of road, same bump....no rubbing. Under-sealed also for weather protection.
Hopefully other's will search for this info and find this thread to help them, as it seems to have been an issue with the widetrack model, partly why people fit the 225 tyres.
