Yeah, I'll have a talk to Stuey when he gets his 200B struts. My mate put his bare rims, 16 x 7 +12mm offset (exactly the same as mine) onto his 260Z and they clear everything (guards, struts, brakes, suspension) no worries. He has r31 rear brakes and 260Z struts on the front (240K hubs, vented rotor and land cruiser 4 spot callipers). I'll keep you guys posted, could be a week or so before I can get around to doing it.
