It's a pain in the a$$ to fold back up into the guard without trashing the guard profile at the top of the wheel arch. The stock 215/60/16 will also snag the guard too on full lock if you fully compress the suspension such as riding up a gutter or steep driveway ramp off of the road. Take a look at some of the AU's front guards around the place and you'll notice more than a couple will have the tell tale kink at the top of the wheel arches.

Thanks mate, the lip won't be a problem for me as I've rolled it, plus it's standing about 12 feet tall at the moment.
How close were the 225's to the ball joint?
