Hey Guys

Well this weekend i bit the bullet and bought some new deep dish wheels out of my money

all good when i first saw em on drives way better,

but then taking a second look the rear wheels from behind they seem to stick out to far and im qite worried about getting defected for em dont get me wrong i love the way they look but wanna try keep it from getting defected if i can

so in the same day as getting them i have had the rear wheels taken off and called up wheel worx he suggested that when my car is lowered it would be alot better which he may be right? but they stick out qite a bit and are on a angle from the camber

the tyres for the rear also are a size to small as they dont meet the rim well ,so if i get bigger tyres for the rim then it will stick out even more im guessing?

i spoke with him bout it and ordered 2 of the front ones for the rear

but i really dont think it would look as good cause there meant to have more dish on the rear

im not sure how to post pics up on here is there a place i can upload em il try ? i took a few with my phone b4 i took the rears off i think lowering it will improve it but cant be certain?

Also the have put to smaller tyres on the rear so it would stick out even more with bigger tyres

any input is much appreciated kinda stressin here

sorry for the long post

and my bad grammer

Cheers

Ur wheels look shit hot IMO. I'm assuming getting the same wheel in a bigger offset is out of the question. It will probably look slightly better after lowering but with that much camber u are going to chew through ur tyres really quickly. Other option is to get ur guards lipped or flared so you can still lower it without having that much camber dialed in. LAst option would be to choose a different set. Tough choice but good luck with it!

exact same wheels as mine, on the back you should have 265's but when you lower it, it will look better, from what i see they arent defectable, they dont stick outta the body of the car too much, they sit nice, if you go the same size all the way around it doesnt look as good, but its up to you, before i lowered my car it looked the same.

I wouldn't worry about it. My rears stick out a good 5mm from the guards (if you put a ruler on the outside of the guard haha), I have cops behind me all the time and i've never been pulled over. I don't think the cops really care hey. Well they don't seem to over here....

It also helps to have a good driving record, not attract attention to yourself and not have anything else obviously wrong with the car. My car isn't low and it's pretty plain, and I drive in a conservative fashion most of the time.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
