OK all sorted!

no problem getting the tyres on the rims...they fit very well too...no scrubbing either...

Tyres are goodyear F1's.

some pics attached

Unfortunately after a bit of driving they are scrubbing....

usually when going diagonally up a drive way or round a sharp corner fast...to a point it like the hand brake is on...performance is lost but I reckon it looks better

What type of shocks you running Bow down? I only have Monroc GTs however they are only 3 years old...

Is there a difference between rear wheel space on a wagon compared to a sedan??

there is a difference. I have fixed my problem by running mags with a different offset and no more scrubbing haha. Just had 2 flair out the arch a bit more so it didnt scrub in the arch

Im guessing the rear wheel pace is smaller on a wagon than a Sedan?
