standardish...going to make some 1/2" spacers and a 1" for the springs and i have a set of Daihatsu wheels with some 205s on,they have a slightly wider offset that standard which fills the arch out nice,the lad who had it cut the arches away for the mod wheels he had on
going to rip the back out to make it a bit more dog friendly
but i have a full workshop at my disposal and a good hacksaw so see what happens
