My classic has 17s on. Think they look the right size, on your rally style ones, i would have thought 17s would be perfect

Mine classic was lowered on 18's and it did catch. You can have the arches rolled out. They (GG) wanted to charge an extra £100 per arch, on top of the £3000 odd i'd just given them for wheels and tyres - after they said it would fit.

Told them what i thought and asked at the garage where my sti spoiler was being painted. He took a hammer, i lOOked the other way, and he bashed the inner lip up, put a dab of paint where it cracked and it never caught again. For Free!! No-one ever noticed the hammer had been near the arches.

they look cool. the font they have used for that number 14 on the doors looks bit thin that could do with some meaty numbers
