They were 14-6J werent they? What brand and size tyre are you running?

The reason I ask is it looks like a 6.5J with a 185/60 on it but some of the tyres have stiffer sidewalls and dont puff as much.

Looks amazing from the back cause you cant see the bra :lol:

I reckon it's sweet and the bra is excellent, I'd like to remove it, nice.

Yerp. These guards swallow wheels. Why they were specced with 14x5.5 +45 is beyond me. So shit.

Yeah, looks great... Has someone measured behind the door card? Cos I tried and it didn't even come CLOSE to fitting like that without cutting a huge hole in the metal on the door...

I don't get them? Spend a few hundy on a car bra to protect your car from stone chips in order to maintain its appearance....but as soon as you put one on you destroy the cars appearance anyway?

I'd rather just spend the money on re-spraying the bumper if/when it gets chipped.
