Ive got 8" et 40s on the front of mine with no rubbing issues at all. (-1.5deg camber)

I just angle grinded the wing lip and tabs off, cut the wing liner a little- utilising the rear most tab to tuck the liner behind. Problem solved in 30 mins a side.

That sounds a bit crude to me,Raz,do you want a pic of how far my wheels stick out past the edge of the wing?

You cant tell the difference on mine from the outside until you look at the lack of wing lip on the inside the wheel arch.

My wheels/tyres dont stick out. Your wheels shouldnt be more than 2 mm further out than mine but i bet you ticked the offroader option tyre size didnt you Glen?

You will hear many different brand oils and viscosity even in the F/I forum. So not to worry about it. I am using Redline 10W-40. It's been fine so far. My engine doesn't burn any oil also but it was built bulletproof like mr-pitts from the beginning. I am sure mr-pitts will use whatever Fernando proposes
