Koop Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Might struggle on the front, especially when you get your coils, would need arches rolled and/or stretched tyres i reckons. I wouldn't go over 7J on the front with 15" rims personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
