Look how far those wheels stick out!!!!!!!!! 8O
You must get problems with them hitting the arches!
Looks nice though, apart from the wheels (A bit OTT for me!)

original 5.5 j * 14 but have been "banded" or widened to 7j front with 195-45-14 and to 9j rear fitted with 225-40-14. they are too wide for standard road use as is and have ordered arch extensions specific for a mk1 to run 9j rears from germany.
