Hi there
With this setup, do you need to roll or pull the guard?
Thanks!

Yeah, 15x8 +20 is pushing it IMO. Should just need a roll though. Better to take the time and to it, than have your fenders bashed and pulled by the tyre.

I used to have 15x8+25 on my NB, with a 205/50/15 fitted.

That fit without the need for a roll, but it was tight, as in, it literally only just cleared the inside lip of the rear guards by 1mm or so.




the +20 will sit 5mm further out, so will hit the inner lip.

Sorry for the late reply but yes had to roll the rear guards. Front guards were fine. You might get a bit of scrubbing on the plastic liners at full compression.

Yep, looks great. Silver on silver is a winner in my book :wink:

But I agree with Bear, needs a drop. Not necessarily boy-racer slammed, but it's looking a little 4x4 right now :mrgreen:
