Notes	Body modifications are necessary to fit these wheels. Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment.	This wheel gets very close to the rear arches and has been known to touch when any weight is applied to the rear of the vehicle. We would recommend a fitment check and modifications to the body work may be necessary. Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment.
