I have 9 inch wide rims (offset ET35) on mine mate and with standard shocks & prodrive lowering springs no archwork was required and the wheels never rubbed or touched anything other than the road. What size were you thinking of going?

Just don't think std brakes are capable with new added power, losing confidence, but that's great to know. Ariosto, thanks Smile
