Looks bloody interesting, but even with the 2" extra height from the struts, do your tyres foul the fender? They look as if they might do.

I mentioned the RVR as in my signature below. The 2.0 model with the turbo comes with a bigger tyre size. They use 215/70/16, I checked the spec. I don't know if they use a stiffened sidewall, but it does mean that this size may be available to you.

I think you are filling the fenders because of using 235 size. With the traction control the SVX has, 215 would be perfectly adequate and should fit the wheel wells.

Your fronts look like you need to "roll" the arches to get clearance.
