Guard Flaring

[D.I.Y. Mik]

So i need to flare my guards... this much

Front

Rear

The rears will have fat rubber

So who can flare em that much wihout leaving ripples?

I dont care if the paint comes off

[Pattey21]

I would be avoiding flaring if possiible as it look like aids..

Have you tried a thorough roll and a good pull first?

how much camber are you running and what is the max you are willing to run?

Are you going to have any guard gap or do you wanto tuck rim?

How wide are the wheels and what tires size/ profile?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Yes its terrible unless they are fully pumped, thats expensive as im not a panel beater

Well on the front, i was thinking of buying wide guards, easy fix right?

i havent tried anything yet, thats my first trial fit i dont even have tyres

And the rear... um... i wanted wide rubber, but ill have to see what i can do.

camber is stock i think, or close too.

would like a gap, but you need room for suspension travel too so????

the wheels are rays gtc 17x9 +35 on a 32 gtst

Bolt ons will be too wide, and im not having a piece of fibreglass glued to my body cos they crack.

so maybe gtr rear guards welded on,$$$$ hmmmm i need a plan d

after looking at google images, bolt ons for some reason seem the least offensive looking

maybe because like you said, others looks like aids

at that price just buy smaller wheels? lol

[pistol-pete]

lol. put some tyres on and put it on the ground first to see where the camber settles. that wont need a flare

[D.I.Y. Mik]

for example, i dont mind this

your right pete.. and i have adjustable upper front and rear arms & traction rods.

I just fitted wheels that sit out 15mm wider per side on my r33 18 x 9 + 20 and i REDUCED my camber thst was induced by lowering the car and i dont scrub.

If you cant roll guards yourself plenty on hear can or pay a shop $50 a corner to roll them you wont scrub.

That looks like it has aids. It's a Skyline not a Torana.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Ok ok.. youre right, and it wont suit what im going to do this summer.

Ok so thanks for the input, good points made:

1 Flares, lips ect look sht on a 32

2 Camber will change as i put weight on the wheels

So ill try flattening the lip first and see how that goes. Adjust camber second, roll guards out last resort.

What tyre profile are you looking at MiK ?

225, 235 / 35 or 40 /R17 ?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

I dont know

Theres heaps of room inside

I may do the front first, then put it on the back and see how much more i can go

Hmmm where to start?

9" = 228mm from inside bead

250mm from outside edge of rim

So i want at least a 255 on the back if i can, more even better.

And dont want less than......235 maybe front.

Profile should be at least 40, or diameter is too small.

spot on!

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Making a lipping / guard flaring tool.

It will have adjustable length and angle.

When i have finished using it, it will be for SAU act. That means anyone can have it just dont take it away from ACT region.

Wow, that's awesome!

Is that a bit of an old Hills Hoist?

[DJBarnstar]

Call my mate pete... 0427 414 141 or look up petes custom installs on facebook.
