bahahaha you silly bastard!!! Trying to go tooo big!!!! can you take the car off the jack or will it hit the guards?????

[dangerous_daveo]

Dude, I think you need some spacers or something aye, they just dont fill the guards!

[Resin]

just take a sledge hammer to the inside of the guards and give em a good wack ....hehehe ..

[dangerous_daveo]

I reckon shorten the rear axles a bit!

[pitchd]

nah cant take it off the jack... its been on there 3 days now... coz my coilovers are seized due to sitting around in japan so long... ive lubed em up... just need effort to get in there and crack em till they adjust up... then ill be able to roll around with the dishies on without the jack

Your going to need to rebuild the coilovers anyway, that or get new ones, if they have seized up, 99.9% chance the seals are also gone.

lol - what are the long term plans for the wheel/guard issue?

do you even need wheels that big? (i'm assuming you'll be running some big power?)

[dangerous_daveo]

They are ONLY 255s !

[sammus]

+

[cefiro]

didnt think I would ever say this but too much dish dude. I can get 255s on my ceff with only mild rolling of the guards. Just shorten the axle, easy done.

[funkymonkey]

i've got a widebodykit that could do with those rims... come on adz, i'll give em a good loving home... free of wheel arches that rub

[SideWaysChef]

WOW

now thats some deep dish man. I thought my cefiro was bad. The previous owner in japan has squeezed 195 on a rim that should have 225 or something bigger.

Anyways they are hanging at least and inch outside that guards.

I need a wide body kit

[RiverSide]

Definately gonna need some creative flaring to fit those on...........those tyres seem to be to high for your car too.......How wide are the rims?

I have had 255/35/18 sized tyres fitted to 11" wide rims.......and they maintained the correct overall rolling diameter. the 255/45/18 you have on there are way to high.

[lang]

you could get wheels with the correct offset for starters?

[funkymonkey]

actually adz, can I grab the offset and rim width of those rims? that looks VERY similar to the offset that I'm lookin for, and I'm lookin at buyin a set in japan, but don't wanna be stuck with it once it arrives.

[boj01]

No matter how wide the body kit goes or how wide you flare the guards, I don't think those rims will ever suit that car.

[krzysiu]

it looks like these very wide rims are just used for wank factor...

[pitchd]

18x11 -22 funky

did you show ben? haha

btw rims are sold and on a widebody 180 now...

- adz

[funkymonkey]

cheers big-ears! is that sitting on your car with spacers? how much you sell em for in the end anyways?

I showed ben and he made some grunting noises and slapped his forehead.

I showed gareth and he was like "hmmm I could do that to my 4 door R32 GTE (with the RB30E VL Commonwhore SOHC engine transplant) and graft some 2 door GTR rear fender flares onto the door and back... and get some GTR front fenders to make a 4 door GTR.
