DRB's have smaller wheel arches than most of the other replicas in Aus. We actually widened the rear opening a little on our DRB by pulling back the rear edge of rear guards. Also added SC style flared lips as well. And at that time had to flare the front guards to cover the tyres...flared front guards are in the mould these days.

The upside of DRB guards is that they have very close gaps between top of guard and top of tyre, so gives them the illusion of a very low stance.
