Just a note: Lowering the car won't affect what diameter wheels you can put on because in the end you should have the same rolling diameter to keep your speedo accurate.

Iif you lowered the car and it's fine with the stock wheels, then you should be able to fit any other diameter wheel as long as the rolling diameter (wheel + tyre) is the same.

Lowering does affect how wide your wheels can be though.

my whale with 20 x 8.5" wheels and 225/30 tyres.

doesnt rub at all.

as you can see, i would presume fitting 17s and slamming on its guts wouldnt be of any issue as long as the rim offset is ok.

only time it has rubbed is when the car is on an angle and im turning sharply....

otherwise, its perfect :P

also, removed guard lining to make some extra room too.

was hoping to go lower, but my front tyres were running on the wiring loom that ran through the front guard lining so i cant.

Did you guys need to get your gaurds rolled or anything like that when you lowered? if my 33s been lowered by previous owner its still pretty close to stock height and with my momo 17s on it the tyres rub sometimes when turning sharp, anyone know where to get gaurds rolled in vic?Id like to go lower.

Also Ive come across a few low king springs for 33s for sale, what kind of ride could I expect if I had these fitted?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
