That makes the front 30P and the rear 8P. Rear guards needed to be pumped 10mm and the lip folded up. The fronts just needed the lip rolled flat. I'm running 225 45 R17's front and 205 50 R17's on the rear, rear's do rub a little but thats only due to the curb protector built into the tyre, with something like Westlakes or Nankang NSII's you wouldnt have that problem as they don't have massive curb protectors. Mine's tyre tucking all around so if you have it a little higher you would be able to run wider tyres. -------------------- Project Thread
