How Do U Fit Wide Wheels

[Silent]

haha does that come with a rwc ?

[n15m0]

mate anything is possible if u wanna go and pull and roll the hell outta ur guards, but say goodbye to normal street driving and going up driveways without scraping, and when it comes time to sell ur car...good luck...oh and not forgetting when the boys in blue stop you....u'll need more than luck...more like lube

[rb25_r32]

yeh tru... i wasnt thinkin abt the driveways and boys in the blue... bloody boys in the blue... cnt do anything to ur car these days... every lil mods are a defect to ur car

[n15m0]

if u mod sensibly u'll be fine. Lots of cars out there might look hot with wheels sticking out past their guards and lowered to their guts but how many of these you can actually enjoy driving in comfortably as a daily driver??

Ive got 9.5" 18s on the front of my gtst and only get slight rubbing on the inside of the guard when doin hard cornering. Im not sure of the offset but I have a 8mm spacer so they clear the brakes and have stretched 225/40s tires. The inside plastic has been removed and guards have been rolled. Car also sits pretty low at the moment, 315mm from centre of wheel to guard. When the car was higher i got zero rubbing even with a full car.

[dead32]

are the rims chrome? would u swap em for 18's by 235's with rubber, fit front easy, plenty of caliper clearence, lemme know as i want dish on the back, picks are in my sig

sorry dead32 im not interested

sorry dead32 im not interested

no problemo, just a thought

Width is all well and good but what offset are we talking?

I have 18x8's on my R32 GTS-t and have trimmed my rear guard lips right back and occasionally get a scrub.

I wouldn't get a wider rim on unless I had more offset but then would not be sure if they would touch on the inside...

[rb25_r32]

thanks for that CATKICKER... i went back to tempe today to change the fronts to 8.5".. and they had to roll my back guards... and the freaken charge me 100 extra for hasslin them.... far out

Rolling the rear guards for $100 is actually a pretty good price..If I'm not mistaken, most plcs charge $80 per corner for guard rolling.

[dead32]

ive seen tempe 'roll guards' with a nice hammer.. 20's on a vl calias. just out of intrest how much for the 9.5's without tyres? chrome or shadow?

Ummm forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the main deciding factor here the offset?

Dude, do you know what offset they are?

Anyway, I'm sure you can get them on with some flaring or rolling... perhaps stretched rubber.

I have a mate who's got 18x10's all around on his GTS-T... with 265s on the rear... with no modification.. of course, this is due to the offset (not sure what it is).

I've got 17x9 (rubber is 235 all around) on my s13, with an offset of +22 they stick out a fair bit but some flaring will soon sort that out.

i got a great deal on a set of WEDS B-VILLENS 18 x 9 +22, 18 x 10 +29 that i can't refuse. Will be going on a R34 GTT. They said i need to roll my guards 10-15mm. Is this amount going to cause my paint to crack? Also will i need spacers to clear the brakes? Any other mods required? I need to know asap and if its worth the effort and pay a deposit before sum1 else snaps them up!

lol

It's funny watching all the girls panick when you mention 9.5" wide

What are the offsets on the wheels, being starcorps I'm guessing there like +30 if not more?

I had 18 x 10 + 18 on the back of my R32 with standard guards and some flaring, was also running 235/40 tires which are, yes stretched but tucked under fine

I also ran 18 x 9.5 + 30 rims on the back of my R32 with just the inner lip of the guard rolled and they sat fine, even though the tires on those were like 245/40

pis of the wheels

ok just to clear afew things up

how wide the rim is has nothing to do with brake clearance; brake clearance is due to rim offset and design.

also they will fit just run 225,235 on the front, get them to dial in some negative camber (when you get a wheel alignement) -2degress should be fine, and aslong as your car isn't stupidly low you shouldn't have an issue

clearing the brakes shouldn't be an issue as by looking at the details they are meant for a GTR.

rolling guards may not be needed pending what size tyre you use, how low your car is and how much camber you want to run
