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.

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
