235/45 federal SS595 on 17x10.5J +/-0 VS-KF

VS-KF are mad to stretch tyres on as the lips are massive and the barrel is a good design, its almost as if they made the wheel for tyres to be stretched on, federals also have really soft sidewalls, yeah needs more low blah blah waiting for camber arms!

what? you just use a good tyre fitting machine with a high pressure line to blast the tyre seal onto the seat of the rim if it's a small stretch. if it's a larger stretch you use a bicycle tyre to bridge the gap, and then pull it out as the tyre has been stretched far enough to seat itself properly. wtf is a baby elephant?

sheesh cant please everyone, ive still got a lot of adjustments to do fitment wise (thinking of going 235/40+camber+low) but my aim is to get them under metal guards.

lol it's just kinda mexican cos it doesn't fit under or anywhere near the guards, maybe with more camber and massaging of the guards you might be able to get em under. The first pic looks doable, but the way that wheel's sitting in this pic...

    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
