    Have no idea mate, the guy that sold them to me didnt say and it doesnt have it behind the wheel either! the back cleared, the front didn't... hit the calliper and the shock absorber hence why the spacer were made for it

    I used to have some similar to those - they were the exact same sizes. Et was 28 - and needed pretty much the same stuff done as you've done to even get the front wheel rolling. I believe they are good forester fitment.

    Not sure if you're still holding on to these or having problems with them etc.. But theres a company called Sydney Guard Rollers who come out to you and roll your guards properly for around $100 each (from what i was told via someone who had used them).. It's something I'm looking into with what I have planned for my build, maybe you could try too!

    cheers for the advice man! they've kinda grown on me since i put them on especially since i got the 10mm spacers on the rears, fills the guards out quite nicely! but yeah i definitely need the guards rolled soon, thanks for the heads up!
