indeed they will be, my front guards are heavily flared, and my rears lipped just a bit. if i got these ones then some serious guard mods will have to be made lol. all steel of course, none of this fibreglass crap :) and just over top of the rim, the front and back of the tire will be there for all to see :O

much like this car

people can say yes 100% youll need spacers but it depends the disk/face design of the wheel... you can almost run any offset/width and clear calipers it just depends on which face/disk type you get... (ie the below pics of the work euroline SL's... as you can see 4th pic i have a bee's dick clearance of 33 gtst 2 pot calipers because these wheels are an O disk (lowest disk you can get - gives the most dish but sfa spoke angle))

however same size and offset but use an A disk... id be able to fit burt newtons hair piece in there easy!

mate runs 33 gtr (17x9+30) all round no spacers - 0.5 deg camber rear and -1.5 degrees front...

rears sit in but tyre is out (no stretch thus the wheel is inside the guard)

fronts sit in both tyre and guard (no stretch)

my gf's 18x10 -5's with 235/40/18 stretched on the ceffy...

oh and pics of the s15 resprayed with the rears on - http://www.doylecrash.com.au/missdmakeover.htm

youll be able to fit them... itll be impractical thats all... and the $$$ and labour on a good looking guard job to fix that is going to be more exxy than the wheels no matter who you know...

i was going for mega mega mega before but ive realised its not needed and would like a decent balance with my car...

oh btw looking into these atm to be a backup rear pair 18x10.5 +5

yeah i know, im bidding for them at the moment through a supplier. ive got a mate whos a panel beater by trade, going to do most of the flaring myself by whatever means neccesary, then he can finish it off, then a nice coat of white with my uras kit :P

then ive got to start building my RB30DETT :)

i have the RB26 and the RB30, now just to combine the two ;):happy:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
