Hi Cobey,

Thanks for the help mate, I have to say you're fitment along with Robzone on G35 inspired me to do it...

The fronts are a recent change from 20.8.5's. I don't have the offset details at work, so just spoke with the importer, they think its +18 front and +15 rear from memory. I'll confirm, but yeah to my mind there is no way they'll fit under fully without further rolling the guards out by hand. Had to accept the offset to keep the concave and still clear the brembo's. I'm not even sure I have any clearance to camber the tops in, but we'll see... last resort is a set of Seibon wide guards I guess.

Cheers

Are you on the gold coast or brisbane?

Ill fix it for you...

i really highly doubt you will have to roll the fronts man, unless your in negative offsets.

im about to go

20x10.5 - 3 (F)

20x12-3 ®

if i can fit that under standard guards, you should have no drama

id say invest in some camber arms (my coil-overs don't even have camber tops)

unless you want to run your wheels flat/upright then you would need wide guards, but i personally hate most widebody g35's

Flared is the most id go.

Hey,

I'm actually in Melbourne

The ADV's are pretty heavily concaved at 10.5 wide, I've att some photos that hopefully show the stretch and width outside guard. She's a bit dirty but I guess that suits the driver

Phone photos will have to do for the time being, sorry for the size.

Thanks Cobey,

Definitely camber arms then, I don't really like or want to wide-body it, and love camber. Any recommendations on a good manufacturer or supplier in Aust?

Are you running dish or concave on the new rims?

Cheers

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
