Might need to roll the guards??
I had a 9" wb wheel on the back and it fitted and an 8" rear on the front with no issues, but you do have to have slightly narrower tyres, not the factory spec ones....

Yeah rolled the rear guards. Fronts fit but need spacing.
Did you fit 8" rears on the front? I want that, I reckon they are the best looking ones. Quiet 2day gonna go check it out now.

Yeah I got photo's of it somewhere.
I remember I needed a 225 on the 9" rear and 215 on the front i think so that it would get under the guards.

Thats with the 9" and 225 on the rear... plenty of room :)

So have you got front 7s and rear 8s on it? What seems to be the problem?

There is not a huge problem, they look way better than it did. I might buy 25mm hub spacers for the front though, and the rear guards still just rub.
Its gonna cost critical Christmas drinking money to do the guards properly and get new shocks, which it has needed for years.

Ive got some Weds Racing 25mm spacers if you want to try them. I dont want to sell them but just thought you could try before you buy some.
