They're 16" Fuchs so my guess is 7" wheels with 205/55 tyres

Rear wings may have been pulled a bit
Re: Standard Body Big Tyres and Stance

You basicly get hold of the rear arch and Pull it out to clear the wheels. A bit more involved than that but any custom body shop should beable to do itsilverfox wrote:I like the look as well. I havn't pulled for a while, what's involved?
Re: Standard Body Big Tyres and Stance
The biggest you can go on 16x7 is 195x55 without "pulling" the arches which is what I'm running on and then It's possible you will need to fold the lip at top of the arch if you haven't got the later rear wings with the cutout.

In the U.S, the normal way to pull the rear wing outwards is with a baseball bat !zoomiewoz wrote:You basicly get hold of the rear arch and Pull it out to clear the wheels.

Google "rolling arches". lots of u-tube vids. Quite a few mobile operators doing it with a heat gun & rolling tool (frost sells them). Can look okay if only a small adjustment but looks terrible if overdone.
