Predicament...Im about halfway thru blocking out the body, but cant stop looking at the rear wheels, too much gap for my liking, may be getting rid of the flare kit unfortunately, would rather the old school ss cragars. I could bolt up one of those spacers, but from what I have been told they aren't legal?
If I get rid of the flares the tyres will be JUST under the guards, would probably look better?
any thoughts peeps!

Why not just trim back the flares till you are happy. I assume you are talking about side on, and not top gap.

If you dropped it just a tad it will look awesome, dont cut back the flares, you'll regret it!

Looks like it's already on 10" wide rims, a correctly made spacer in NZ is allowed.

That's the thing, she'll be a daily driver for work, so will be everywhere from tweed to Brisbane, Toowoomba, so trying to be as "legal" as I can. transport is pretty happy with 215's up front, 235's up back, so the rims are as wide as I can sorta go... :-\
im about 30seconds away from buying spacers, but being reverse cragars, they'll be really noticeable as I need at least 50mm Bolton spacers to fill the gap.....will fit up the actual tyres im using today, take measurements and see how we go from there, will be happy either way I spose! :P
thanks for your inputs guys!
