It all depends on your ride height mate I seriously doubt it! |

Measure your suspension travel then to see if 1" gap is adequate. Whether or not its 'tubbed' will make no difference to arch gap though I seriously doubt it! |

If necessary put rubber buffers on the rear arches or something so that the radius arm bottoms out on that before your tyre catches the arch. Something similar someone has mentioned on a forum before and it seemed like a good idea. Edited by Carlzilla on 16th Jun, 2014. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

You can drill the radius arms and fit hydro rear bump stops. |
