Ooh, how wide are these?

Always thought about putting spacers on the rear of my 2006 XC70 as the stock back end does look a bit frumpy.

25mm. When I was running 215/70r/16s the tyre was just kissing the outside of the well. With the 225s it’s about 1/2 inch outside.

Shovel was too heavy, trunk door wasn’t opening all the way. Bumped my head a few times, went back to the hatchet.

Can we get a full-car shot from a rear quarter?

Does the tyre still tuck inside the arch under full suspension compression?

C an we get a full-car shot from a rear quarter?

Sure, a little later when it’s not -7 outside.

Does the tyre still tuck inside the arch under full suspension compression?

Nope, but remember I’m running 225/70r vs the stock 215/65r with 5cm of spring lift. So my tyres are 3.6cm taller and 1cm wider.

Here ya go.

Nice, thanks!

Mine bottoms out regularly carrying 5 humans and a boot full of crap so will leave it stock to save the arches getting mangled.

This is so so good! Love a brick!

Quality.

No good, terrible, fucked up, shitty ass day...
