Just something about the rims sticking out past the tyres I don't like and nothing to protect the rims from nasty gutters.
Ditto, my sentiments exactly.
Drive more carefully? :P

Happens you know, best laid plans and all that... Bluestone that juts out is a typical culprit in the narrow inner suburban backstreets of Melbourne.
Reduce fuel costs by 15-20% & cut emissions by 1/3rd...
Increase engine performance & prolong engine life...
How?

Not toooo bad.

225/50s are on the money.

Going by my maths (possibly dubious but bear with me) changing tyres from 215/40 to 225/50 should raise your car an inch allowing you to drop it an inch onto the wheels without sacrificing any ground clearance :D

I went 225/50/16 on 7s front and 245/45/16 on 8s rear.
Fronts fill the guards a bit better than rear but lowering should hopefully sort that out.

Thanks rice thief. :D

Also don't let wife drive car. :twisted:
She won't drive a manual anyway and I have only ever owned 1 auto not counting gold staz in background of that pic which will never be rego'd or most likely stay auto.
If at first you don't succeed, maybe skydiving just wasn't your sport!
