Default 18" and SL's

G,day all.
wanting to put 18" wheels and SL springs on short shocks. Just wondering if aftermarket kits (skirts, front bar) are going to have clearance problems later on if i decide to fit any. Anyone encountered any problems with the above combo? Cheers.

the 18" will be fine, only when u start gettin to 19" you might have to roll the guards but other wise should be fine, the side skirts wouldnt be to much trouble as long as you take it easy over speed humps and stuff, like you would with SL anyhow. the front bumper on the other hand if ur getting like a TE50 kit or a bigh one id take car going up and down drive ways scrape a fair bit on everytrhing. i think the stanadard kits such as Fairmont kits and stufff would be alright tho.

Hope that helps a little

I've got SL's and 18's on mine. I found I can only use a 235 wide tyre up front and driveways and speed humps need to be taken slowly.
