the rear has a +10 offset. during the time I took the pic, the rear was in a negative toe since the hicas bar has not been installed yet so the wheels doesn't look straight.

iv actualy looked into re-drilling, the back part that meets with the hub has to be solid no holes or valleys, think it was like $85 a rim from somewhere in slacks creek, just have to keep my eyes peeled

those rears look pretty sweet, how wide r they?

i say decently roll em. flares are for wider rims, there nuffin worse then a car with nice wide flares/guards but u cant fill em in well, at least thats my thoughts :P

yea i see wat u mean, altho is $85 the cheapest you've seen? Edited by Dan_J

I'm having the same issue where it looks like the rim is too wide to pump the guard, but if I was going to have them flared I'd want to do it properly.. but then my rims wouldn't be wide enough lol I should've bought the 10" wide for the rear.

i never looked around for prices, thats a quote i got maybe 1 year ago, im sure if you looked around or knew the right people you could get it done for less..

bloke at works his brother has an import licence so im gonna give him some details and he gonna try find some rims in 18x9/10 round the 12+ offset for me.. what offset am i lookin for the front?

im also puttin off the re-spray till i get the rims, no point playin with freshly painted guards i figure

Mate don't go bolt on flares, those wheels will fit perfectly after flaring the back guards. What width are those rims? 9" or 10"? Couldn't make out in the photo if those tyres are 225/45/17's or 235/45/17's. You could also stretch those tyres a little bit more for more clearence, 225's if they're 235's or 215's if 225's.

Thats mad. What about front ? what offset ? What rim width? Tire sizes ?

Here are the wheel specs and tire size:

front- 17x8 +5 offset tires-215x45

rear- 17x9 +10 offset tires 235x40

I just mounted the front earlier and it just sticks out about an inch only so now, I opted to have my fenders rolled combined with a camber plate. :)

Dan_J,

I'll just roll them since the flares is actually my last resort if rolling won't be enough. :)

Hypnotik,

Yeah, I find the flares a bit out of shape for the car as I test fitted some. I prefer the stock looking body with rolled fenders. :)

for a 10 width in the front, you may still mount it up but you have to use coilovers so that the tires won't foul up to the stock spring perch. you may be required to maybe roll the fender a littlle.

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
