had 17x8/9 +16 all round and fit fine without any guard work (225/45/17 front, 235/45/17 rear)

also had 17x9+22 all round with no guard work either (215/45/17 front, 235/45/17 rear)

can easily fit 17x9 + 18 front & 17x10 +18 rear without guard work i reckon.

yeah well you had the wrong offset then (iirc the stock rims are 17x7.5 +38) .. doesn't matter if it fits or not, the car has a certain track and suspension and steering geometry specification. If you use the wrong offset, you can do some damage plus shit like different turning radius, extra force on wheel bearings etc

Having said that, why bother with 17's ? If you're going aftermarket rims might as well get 18"

17's have their place... if you drift for one, the tyres are cheaper.

17x10+18 will need guard work for sure! my 9.5+30's sit JUST outside my rolled guards and 10+18 will sit another 18mm further

Hey guys,

i recently picked up my 34 GT-T coupe 5sp manny turbs with 50 thou on the clocko!

hell pumped - i wanna get it on some smooth rims but i have no idea what to get! there are so many good sets!

car is already lowerd, so thats sorted, just need some wheel.

If anyone can post pics that would be awesome!

Can't upload the pics but BIM driftmaster rims are 6 spoke rims and depending on how big you go will have plenty of dish.

If you google it it's not the chrome ones i'm talking about it's the black and silver ones. Nice.

    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
    • Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?
    • Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
