Still quite a lot of daylight between the tyre and the arch, what size wheels and tyres are you using?

205/40, on 17's. im gonna be looking, at some time in the future, to get new wheels, and will def go for 17's again with most likely a 215/45 front and maybe 225/45 on the back:)

with a mior mod to the front spring cup you will get 225's on the front, or just put those thin 3mm spacers in.
