I own a FFR MKII and am in the process of mounting 19x12 Kinesis wheels w/345/30/19 Pilots on the rear. Currently running a 4 link suspension, removing the coil springs and going with Koni coil over's for more space, a little more height and better performance. Narrowing the live axle by 2.5" on each side and cutting and moving the rear cross section along with the front bar inward 1.5" to accommodate the huge tires. The wheels have a DEEEP 7' lip and look unreal when tucked under the fender (I know this look isn't for the purist).
We have to relocate the base of the rear roll bar which means reshaping the bottom section which is no problem. Most of the sheet metal in the trunk is easy enough to re-cut and rivet, will end up looking like a "mini tub" and will be finished off nicely, no hack job here. And all of this to be done with the body on!! I'll post pics as we get closer..
Posted a pic of a FFR MKII w/19x11" Asanti rear wheels w/5" lip and 315/25/19 tires, I'll be going with a DEEPER 7" lip!
