I thought that was just cross ply vs radial ply, not actual tread pattern?
Edit - just got this from the NSW RMS information..

"Never mix radials with cross-ply tyres on one axle. If you have only two radials, they must be on the rear wheels. Always make sure that both front tyres and both back tyres
are the same."

Is there a web site for metifit? Google isn't helping me.

Metfit – Metal Fabrication

Ben at APT made some nice step treads for my GOE sliders the other day

Luke, do NOT use the rattle gun to do up the wheel nuts. Use a torque wrench only to do up to the figure found in the handbook.
Put a very small amount of anti seize on each stud, but no lube.

I use the rattle gun on the lowest setting and don't rattle it home. Then I torque to the correct setting.

Just confirm your rattle gun is below the correct torque setting on it's lowest setting first.

As I'm quite picky in this regard I was worried about the looks of the car while I have 20" wheels fitted but actually they don't look out of place at all, in fact I quite like the added style!

Two things to note:

1) Yes, it took minor (easy) cutting of a small portion of the front lower sill.
2) I can see how if they were muddy it would get on the back of your pants as you get out of the car. as I often wear a suit I may have to adapt to how I exit the car if it is dirty.

I haven't used them offroad as yet but I feel confident.

Happy days!

Hi Luke,

Those Metfit sliders look like they are good value. I noticed in the photos that there is a piece of the front sill missing under the left guard. Is this the part of the sill you refer to having to cut? Is it possible to put this part of the sill back after the sliders are installed?

Cheers

I have Terrafirma sliders, They have been good. They come either close in or with the wider stand off bars.

Mefit sliders require trimming the front sill, and it can't be put back on. For close up pictures, refer to my thread that illustrates the installation here:

Picture 3.5 shows the cut line, and 5.6 shows it once installed.
