And if you guys are refering to the ones by BBS, just change the lip.
Great bondo work you did there!

Wrap will be ordered before Xmas I think but I'll start doing it in January once I'm back from Australia, hanging to do it now though!!

Bummer ! was it a barrel or face crack ? have you tried to mount tires to see if they hold air ?

Been a while.
Tomorrow I will install some 20mm spacers in the rear, I had 235/40's mounted to the rear 9" monoblock so it's a very mild stretch, just what I wanted, they don't grip as much as the old 255's obviously so they spin on takeoff pretty easy, but I just cruise to and from work in this car mainly so it's not big deal.
Pics to follow tomorrow once installed.

Gonna need to do more work to make these spacers/tires work
Did minimal trimming, definitely needs more. Plan is to cut more and raise rear a touch also with thicker pads,
Here is the 235/40/18 on a 9" subtle and still give a decent amount of rubber.
Here it is mounted, car is jacked up a little here, so when I raise it, will be closer to this possibly
Here you can see clearly that more clearance is needed
