    You could always put G60 fronts on the rear as well.

    It can be done with some modifications to the fender and the side skirt if you feel like some plastic fabrication work?!! :p

    Heres the proof...



    You would need to give me you BBS RM's and buy something wider to fill em out though!

    I've got the a set of front and rears if you want them, just not liking how wide they are and i cant be bothered trying to find wheels and wheel spacers that fit when i like the wheels ive got.

    PM sent mate.

    How far off were the rear guards when you tried to fit them to your car?

    As far as I am aware, I will only need to buy the front flare's. Is this correct, or is there anything else I will need to have the G60 flare's on the car.
    Cheers.
    Contrary to popular belief, the g60 rears are slightly wider then standard flares and also sit and slope in a different angle out from the car (more straight out then curved).

    I've found that having standards on the back looks like the two halves of the car are different, they just dont match.

    Here is a pic of my front ones and you'll see what i mean about needing wider wheels:

    Cheers for that man. I actually like that look. Sad but true.
