d1a31 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 He is right you need spacers but im not sure how wide, slip ons will probably do I have 17x8 +35 on the front with 25mm bolt ons and 17x9 +35 on the rear with 5mm slip ons they dont hang out past the guards too much either with some camber Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131425-cefiro-and-your-offset/#findComment-2440353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A31cefiro Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) 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 much like this car Edited August 26, 2006 by A31cefiro Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131425-cefiro-and-your-offset/#findComment-2441328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcey Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 ^^^that car is farking tough!

A31cefiro Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 isnt it! i was just showing how the rear guards of a car are supposed to be done rather than fibreglassing over the wheels, enlarging doors etc. it looks cool to do that, just imo i recon steel flares look cooler Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131425-cefiro-and-your-offset/#findComment-2441998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_DawG Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 You might get away with it, I run 17x9's they're +32 and their is plenty of clearance. I had to get the dead blow and dolly out and tweak the guard a bit however.

Hella Flush Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited August 28, 2006 by Hella Flush Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131425-cefiro-and-your-offset/#findComment-2442940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hella Flush Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) 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 just got my mate these 18x10 +10 garcon's aswell for his r31 - theyll be here next week via ems btw those meistars arent sold yet... still for sale right at this moment - http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e58324464 Edited August 28, 2006 by Hella Flush Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131425-cefiro-and-your-offset/#findComment-2444126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
