Will it clear the struts with tyres on?
Starions are a disease, the only cure is poverty.

There is plenty to work on with things like that. Those images are just a taster but yes the tyres will need to tuck and stretch ever so slightly

Trying out a slightly stretched tyre, wheels and hubs as is. Looks and fits so much better than the 265mm in previous photos

YES! Just run a bit more negative camber in the front and fold back the metal lip on the inside of the front guards.

Im so close to getting it all ready. Just finding the right combo. Need to find myself some adjustable camber plates in the front to match the back and it will be done.
