Rears went straight on no spacers at all. they do stick out tho, i had to put 245s on rear. needed to stretch. 275s didnt give me any clearance from hitting guards.

Fronts have 30mm bolt on spacers, was running 245s on front but as soon as i left tyre power every now and then i could hear them scraping. Ended up running 225s on front, they still scrape sometimes.

I am gonna have to get all four guards rolled just for some extra clearance, I hate hearing them scrape my guards.

Can anyone help out with a decent workshop for rolling my guards or a business?

Will post some more pics tommorow before footy or after if i get a chance.

Oh and for camber nothing has been touched, so unsure on answering that question 4bidn1

Still can't work out how your rears fit ????? Looks good , shoot us a close up pic of how much the rears stick out , what camber you running

the only thing that would be helping him in this instance is the lack of rear camber from having the car sitting so high, don't forget he's running 20's and still has guard gap which means he'd have next to no rear camber and would create him a little bit of inner clearance, the wheels would be poking probably 25mm from standard guards though. it all comes down to your definition of fitment, which is subjective.

personally i'd still be concerned about contact between the inner wheel and strut though with any weight/suspension travel over bumps etc. can you grab us a pic of how much room you have (with the car sitting on the ground obviously, not jacked up) to satisfy my curiosity?

his rear would look pretty similar to this (18x9.5+15 with a 235 sitting at standard height)

and, for reference, just to illustrate how the rear camber responds to the height of your car this is the same setup lowered

Too be honest i wasn't going for the stretched look to start with, I really have had no choice but too.

For these rims to fit i have done what needed to be done, my next option is to get all guards rolled for some extra clearance.

Further down the track i might come across a cheap pair of fronts for the rear.

At the end of the day this isn't my daily, and i am happy with how it is for now.

Thanks for your mixed comments and help over the thread people, footys nearly over for me so i might even turn up on a cruise one day so you can all bag me about my stretched tyres haha......

Someone has to be the pioneer!

I struggled with a guard roller to get my 9in rims covered and ended up getting better results with a piece of pipe between the tyre and guard (once I worked out what Yokatas quote about "baseball bat is your friend" meant).. In order to accommodate 10in rims I think you would have to follow Psymin's example and get the guards extended at a panel shop.

+1 not a huge fan of the stretch mate, but at the end of the day, I can see where you're coming from. Someone had to do it first right, and it is your car in the end!

Would look EPIC with fat tyres and flares IMO.

Cheers,

    • Thanks for advice chaps   so you would change idler and tensioner bolt as well ? I guess because you thinking they have stretched once ?   i have done some research and on nissan belt and seem to hold 700hp but thinking HKS to be on safe side   i think I put nissan there last time   also thinking of changing cam cover to glass style:)
    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
