Yeah mate, rears are rolled right over and the bracket trimmed, I had 20x10's on before so I had already done all that. All it needed was a bit of a massage to clear.

Oh ok. Yea i got my rears rolled too an bracket shaved but it has still rubbed like twice goin over a big dip in the road at 100kph. Going to try and shave a bit more off and move the screw. But I guess your ute will be a bit stiffer on the Teins.

As requested, some info and photo's of the Sunroof.
The sunroof is a Event 300QF by Inalfa, it is the largest roof i would try to fit to a ute.
I did have to remove the antenna mast but surprisingly radio reception is still clear.

It is a "Top Slider" the only option in a ute for obvious reasons...

I have re-trimmed the headliner to suit and relocated the interior light forward about 40mm.
The motor can be accessed under the sunglasses flap for emergency operation.

Using a window switch from a sedan i have merged the two rear switches to operate the sunroof.

The latest modification has been a set of Brembo's in all four corners.
Pretty standard bolt-on upgrade now but is well worth it.. and can be done for less than you think.
Part numbers can be found by searching the forum.

Looks wicked mate, I assume you did the sunroof install yourself? Was it hard?

I would love to put a sunroof in my ute but I would be no where near confident to chop up the roof, better to pay a professional.
