See my for sale thread F7R powered 3dr, thats on 7" Wide minilites and i had to have the rear arches rolled as the tyres scrubbed badly, that said i'm not a scenester and prefer a chunky tyre to the stretch look. Even with them rolled they still scrubbed with passengers in the back.
Just took a look, how much had yours been lowered? Im thinking that with 75mm's all around the rears will be tucked away inside the arch so i may need to consider the 6" wide. Also I know what you mean with stretch tyres, most of the time it looks stupid, i prefer having a chunky tyre too.

That sucks about the front valance on yours, makes me want to go double check mine! Thing is i've got one of those chin splitter things over mine so ill have to get underneath and poke around.

I think logan360 has rolled arches and he has 16s on his 360.
ill go and check it out, but i think 16's will be a different ball game tho, i'm looking to go for the small light weight approach!

I'm fairly sure i've got 3" blocks on the back and 2.5 springs in the front, hence the slightly reversed rake! My wheels were from a Mini so the offset is pretty much wrong but I liked the look of it, if you get the correct offset you won't have as much problem.

I cant believe some people. If you want to sell your car, bloody CLEAN IT!!!!
Who wants to buy someone elses filth? You'd get so much more money if it looked clean and presentable because psychologically, people think its been looked after.

When I still lived in NZ I looked at a 360 GLT, they wanted circa NZD500. I turned up at the house and there were about 3 rough guys stood outside with music blaring from the house and the generic body kit japanese cars everywhere.

It was clean on the outside, was 99% rust free and had a great engine. But the interior was filthy, to see what condition the interior was in I was rifling through V cans, red bull cans, wrappers and general filth. The back seat wasn't even screwed down which I found out when I put my weight on it to lean down to look at the sills and it fell off. All of the speakers were hanging out, the stereo was hanging out with exposed wires.

Then he said "the rear diff bearing is blown but it still drives" that's when I noticed that the front tyres had plenty of tread yet the rears were bald... you can guess why they were bald and had a blown diff bearing.

It was reg on hold (SORN) for 2 years, yet I saw it driving around quite often, go figure.
