What brand and specs did you end up with? Do you get scrubbing in the back? I had 17X7.5 wheels at ET35 with 205/40/R17 tyres and the car a bit lower than stock height, and the unrolled back guards scrubbed alot.

they go on tomorrow, will let you know how i go. i got a bit of scrubbing from 215/40/17 if i had some load. infact when i moved up to brisbane i had to leave some stuff in melbourne because it was so bad. but it was fine with no load.

im hoping these will be alot better.

I find the big name chains like uncle Bob are normally over priced .

yea bugger ever buying from bob jane,k mart, beue repairs etc, waaaaay over priced, knowing ppl in the business helps too

only thing i can think of with the bob jane etc places are the whole interest free thing hence the prices... i had the same size tyre mentioned above in the falken ze912's on my old car and bob jane quoted $249 a corner, got them from a small place around the corner for $179 !!

$500 is a bloody good deal tho mate, well done
