Hi guys,

I am going to be fitting wider wheels/tyres on the back of my R32 gtst. I've been told by the people i've ordered off that i will have to roll the guards/widen/flare or what ever terminology is used to fit these.

My question is, where's a good place to get this done in the Sydney area, i would obviously like a professional squeaky clean job, so if anyone could recommend somewhere would be appreciated. Also, any feedback would be welcome. I am fitting 265's on the back. What you think?

Thanks in advance.

hey i have 18x 9 on the back of my r32 gts4 and they fit fine with no mods to the guards

yes but this may be because of the offset of the rim ;)

have a look in the back of most car mags dude there are generally advetisers who roll guards with a machine the bolts on to your studs turn the wheel and presto guard rolled and usually this wont require the guard to be repainted either...otherwise fit the new wheel get a nice solid metal bar and jam it at one end of the wheel arch and drive forward slowly while someone holds it in place....can be very affective can also f**k your paint and make guards look shit but hey if your putting big rims like that on your car one would assume you could afford the professional jobbie!!

good luck

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
