I think you may find your tyres hitting the arches at the rear at that height.

Been a while since I've updated this, not sure wether to start a build thread or just continue this thread, for now I'll keep it here.

I decided a while back to go the whole hog and get the whole car done, it's with a guy at the minute having new floor panels, inner and outer sills both sides, two doors, new driver's side A panel and a full respray inside and out, only place not getting painted is the engine bay.

I've been busy the last while getting parts together for it, here's what I've got so far

Full roll cage
Sportspack arches
12" steelies banded to 7" wide
New lights/indicators
New windows
Polycarbonate door windows with square sliders
All new trim door handles etc

There are some more bits and pieces I can't think of at the minute, I'm getting the underneath schultzed aswell.

Here it is today
