18 x 7.5 i think. guy at jax tyres will have a look at the sussy tomorow. not keen for that to be shot.

What tyre size are you running?

[PG_DC5]

just running the ones that were on, their pretty shot, but they still grip better than anything i've tried ever before.
size is 225x40x18 Toyo Proxes T1-R

UPDATE

V-lip finally came in from the states. Aus post decided they didnt feel like delivering it to my door because it was a large item, and didnt feel like informing me, so after a long chase i picked it up from the auspost depot in newcastle.

i've posted some of the steps. basically took off the front bar which wasn't that annoying. and then drilled in about 10 holes for the new lip, as well as 4 more for the plastic screw things.
all-in-all probably worth the $120, but will see how long it lasts.

Cheers, Thanks man. How long did it take you to fit it up?

[PG_DC5]

about 2 hours, because i was doing it by myself, its really simple. most of the time was just removing and putting the front bar back on. would be much quicker with the help of a friend, because the lip isnt a perfect fit, so would be better if u get somone to hold it while u drilled. but not too hard. im a massive noob when it comes to this stuff.

Looks great, keen to do this to my DC5R also.

Wouldnt it of been easier to just jack the car up? :P

[PG_DC5]

maybe haha, but dont have jacks :P

here is a better picture. just went for a little drive, the thing scrapes massively on my steep-ass driveway. and im running 4wd height as well.

[eLtrix]

Fuck... if you are scraping then i will too... How bad is the scrape? Hows the lip holding up even though its scraping? Does it seem like its going to crack any time soon?

[PG_DC5]

yeah, but my i used to scrape before the lip was on too, as you can see from my pictures of my bumper haha. house is on a massive hill.
the lip actually took it real well, the material wont ever crack, its really pliable. and just has a few scrape marks underneath. only thing that may happen is it falling off, but its got about 14 screws holding up right now, so thats unlikely.
will see how tamworth treats in next year :P

[eLtrix]

ahh okay. can you take a frontal picture of it? facing down?
