No rubbing experienced in a brief on-road test drive, but it had a 2" lift kit fitted ($1200 quoted). King steel wheels were 15x6 with 0mm offset compared with +5? OEM. Tyres were barely covered by the wheel arch flares and speedo was borderline illegal too - probably not important unless your insurer is looking for a loophole. Seemed to make the car (an auto) really sluggish though compared with my earlier test drive, so I won't be going beyond 215. Will consider the lift kit though.

I'd be interested to know how it drives with the 235's, especially if there is any rubbing. It's a shame you can't test them at full articulation too, now that would be a proper test drive!

A decent rack should put most of your hotlid in the shade and the vertical windows will probably help with the heat. I like this retro colour scheme:

I wonder if one of those was mine... I'm guessing its likely given the lack of them on the road in WA thus far. I've only seen two others since January... they were both Kinetic Yellow so it may have actually been one
