Hey all. Just fitted up the widebody kit to an R32, and got some measurements off it. Now I've got a set of Work Equip's 18x10 and 18x11 for the rears. Any wider and the tyres will send me broke (also if I go any wider in the rears I'll have to use a staggered tyre size, which means different contact patches with the road, which means the traction sensors will go off, which means my ATTESA will go into "oh noes, AWD mode!" 24/7). So some strategic offseting and spacing have to be used.
The fronts fit properly and sit 2mm outside the guard, clears the struts and steers fine, which is perfect.
The problem I have is with the rears, the offset on them needs to be reduced by 27mm (ie the center needs to go inwards another 27mm to make the whole rim sit around 2mm outside the guard. I can either move the center of the rim inwards, or I can get a 27mm spacer. I'd prefer to move the center, as it would, as wanky as it sounds, give the rim some extra testicular fortitude.
Work Equips, the way they are made are a 3 piece rim. There's an inner rim, a center piece and an outer lip. Basically I need the inner rim to be shortened 27mm, and the outer lip extended by 27mm.
I'm looking for a workshop that can do this, and machine the rims so that the alterations are not visible, and as the outer lip is chrome, re-chrome the outer lip. Does anyone work at a shop that does this, know anyone that does this, or have had work done at a shop that can do this sorta task.
If this doesn't come to fruition, I'm gonna have to custom order a set of inner and outer rims from work themselves, which I anticipate to be a lot more costly. So any help is greatly appreciated.
