How do you go for beam clearance with that front end set up james?
Another dove blue, pre '58 ute.... Were all 55/6/7s out here blue? Seriously?!

the beam is sweet, the super low profile tyres give a fair bit of road noise though.
As for the colour, i think people mainly ordered blue because they knew that 55 years people think its as cool as fark!

Haha yes agreed.

Just ask about the beam because with my balljoint front with drop spindles and 165/45s beam scrapes all the time and you still feel every bump because of the tyre profile and yes road noise due to the width of tyre...
May go back to 145/65s for less banging over our shit sydney roads
