    yes got it rolling diameter. Couldn't be bothered checking up though.

    Clearance issues for sure, good size speeds humps, probably exhaust scrape, bumpers as mentioned, the norm.

    No i mean clearance issues within the wheel well, i.e rubbing on inner guards, fouling on control arms or steering mech etc..??

    No good putting larger dia wheels and tyres on the car if they rub on the inner guard or smash into suspension components on a tight turn and break or damage the car.....

    Increasing the rolling dia will also impact DSC, ABS and geometry...

    DSC/ABS all one module. But it is a self learning unit but it does need to know a certain rim size IIRC.

    Listen Nana, just accept that's the price of fame. If it won't get up your drive, simple. Move house.

    Those wheels are the new 'one piece' Simmons wheels, they only come in limited sizing's so they will be 20x8.5 & 20x10's. iwill all work of you limit yourself to 275/30 on the rear. It all works, there is plenty about in that spec. Hell there's even one in my driveway.

    That one does look like it's bagged in the rear. Another common mod. SSL fronts/airbag rear.
    The problem with society today, is that nobody drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    Nice car. Love the rims but sitting too low for my taste. Lowered is good but then that low for me is a little too much.

    Just on airbags are they legal? and second to that are they safe? (I genuinely don't know).
