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:

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
