After mocking up the front suspension with some 15X65X205 wheels that I had lying around a few problems quickly became apparent. 1.) The tyre now sits approximately 45mm further forwards than it previously did and fouls on the edge of the front fender. Mock-up suspension location, at approximate full droop.

I'm quite happy with the actual stick-up of the wheel from the guard this is minimal and much better than I had expected, this will make doing the rear end easier also as I didn't want to have to cut it up extensively to accommodate a much wider track width. 2.) In trying to re-use the original shock and modifying the strut body to suit I've run into an issue as the shock is now so long that it hits the LCA meaning I would need to move the spring mounts down in-order to reduce the shock length.
