18" Wheels

[MspecR33]

i have put 18" rims on my car recently and my car is slightly lowered and the tyres are scraping the guards

i ws just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and what they did to fix it

rolling the guards isnt enough nor is cutting away that plastic lining

cheers

You've probably got the wrong widths or offset wheels on. Not much you can do besides raising it up a bit. What wheels and offset are u running? The other option may be to run thinner profile tyres ie: stretching the rubber. Might just give you the clearance you need.

yeah the thinner profile works a treat... i used to fir 285 wide tread on the back with a certain profile

[MspecR33]

profile is 40mm now

in order for good clearance i think i need like 20mm

other option is raising the front a bit

but want to keep the tein springs i have

what do yas rekon

I mean thinner width tyres not lower profile....lowering ur profile will throw ur overall rolling diameter out. If you have 9" wide wheels at the rear...try fitting 235 instead of 265...at the front try using 215 instead of 235.

Might help if you told us ur wheels specs.

[MspecR33]

ok

that'll leave lifting the front

running 235s and dun wana sell two rims

sounds like you have the wrong offset for the car...considering people have 20's on their 33's....

215's on 18's....how thin are these 18's? :
