Thanks Doc, finally got off my bum to identify what type of car I have, and the gods smiled and declared i have a Clubman "S" according to the compliance plate.

So I have a stock setup as far as brake drums and rim width is concerned. However I believe original tyre was a 145/80/10??? Anyway the A008's stick out from under the flare.

So what are my options for wider flares? I'm kind of partial to the Group 3 or 5 look, can I get these anywhere in Australia?
