Rear guards are already rolled. Wouldn't they need to be flared though? My fronts hit the guard like a mofo and they're only sticking out 6mm.

15mm spacers in the rear would mean 10+mm out of the guard.

get the 10mm spacers then. you should be able to flex the metal 5mm pretty easily. I got an extra 10mm out of my ceffy when I rolled it. Didn't need a respray.

just sell the wheels and start again if it's all too hard for you.

also helps if you stretch tyres. I tucked a 10.5" with 225's on the back of the cef. no way that would fit without stretched tyres.

your tyres are probably scraping on the front cos you're probably running Pat spec tyres.

nice... I don't see any hub locating rings on those wheels either. And you wanted to run 5mm spacers? oh dear.

notice rim isn't even visible cos the tyre's too big? if your wheel is tucked this is how it should be, but if your wheel is mexican then you need to stretch at the bare minimum to prevent it getting cut up every time you hit a bump.

compare this to mine:

see what you need to do if you're running flush or slightly pokey wheels?

Hmm... So fronts would be better with like a 205 yeah? And a bit of negative camber? Would that affect handling?

depends. if you like drag races only then it's bad. if you like cornering then it's good. if you like tyre longevity then GTFO.

more pressing issue would be to get some hub locating rings on those wheels. atm the only thing holding them in place are your lugs.

haha yeah, that's the other thing - if you go hub centric spacers then hole in the spacer need to match the hubs and the ring on the spacers need to match the wheels - or run hub rings as well as spacers

But did the rings match your hubs or your rims?

I bought ones to suit an MR2. So I guess?? 60.1 is the number I was told to order.

I really have no idea what I'm talking about, as you can guess.

    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!  
    • We import a lot of cars from Japan. I'd say that approximately 20% of our traffic is imported JDM cars (mainly consumer cars like the Mazda Demio, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Suzuki Swift, etc.). We also import a lot from the UK, but this has decreased after Brexit. Apart from the consumer vehicles, two of the larger, well-known dealerships frequently import iconic '80s/'90s JDM cars. I haven't heard of anyone importing from Australia, and they are not advertised (unlike Japanese ones), despite a lot of Maltese migrating to Australia in the '50s and '60s.
