my rear are 265/35 R18 by 9 and my fronts are 225/40 R18 by 9 inches the tyres ive got on are brigestones SO2's

i just need to flare it out abit so it wont touch are there any people in melbourne in the western subs that does this?

rolling the guards doesnt sound like it'll help...you need actual flaring....

look on nissansilvia.com...there's a guy that rolls and flares guards...i'd say with the amount you want it flared, factor in $ for a respray :(

most panel shops can flare guards, but 1 inch is alot, and could look silly, + you will most likely have to respray the rear quarters as you will flake/chip the paint in the process.

are the rims 2 peice rims or anything ?

is this on a 32. 33 or silvia or?

2 peice rims

beautiful

was hoping you would say that ...

u can order a rim (outside part excluding the centre) to the desired offset, well the correct offset and simply bolt your centre back in and ur done. Depending on the brand of wheel also.

dont stuff around with the guards, they look stupid flared unless u cut them off and put gtr guards on, or get a crappo wide body fibreglass thing and cut the shit out of the guards anywho ..

even lipping the guards there is a danger in damaging the paint no matter how good the person is at doing it, especially if its been sprayed at a panel shop outside the factory.

the coat of paint is thicker, and the grade of paint could be poor.

Try to get a new outside rim for your wheels.

Sounds to me like you've got the wrong offset...

I've got 18x9 +35 on the rear of my 33, with 255's and they don't rub at all....I had 265's on at one stage and they didn't rub either...

yeah my 225/40s are fine on the fronts no probz just the rear my 265/35's are the probz wat is the offest surpost to be? and wat camber are have u got ur car on atm?

try raising your suspension.. it may actually improve your handling.

i thought the lower ur car the better the handeling and also if u had adjustable sway bars to stiffen ur body is this correct or not? :(

my wheels also stick out a tiny bit at the back..

since i got whiteline suspension stuff the car sits 1cm lower or so but it doesnt rub against the guards as much now.. only when i go over stupid train tracks and crap.

with the stock suspension it would rub when there was 3 ppl in the car and u were just driving along normaly.

rubbing would occur wen 3 or full load is in the car over bumpz or turning i think i need to harden up the rear any thoughts abt that pplz? so at least i can carrie a full load with out it touching as much.....and wat is this whiteline suspension sutff? :(

not necessarily.. depends on your setup. sometimes too low is not going to give you enough suspension travel, thus making handling worse.

atm it handles really good i like it sits nice looks good however the slight rubbing is eating away my tyres thats the bad thing

ok soo far the things

get new rims

change the centre bit of the rim get correct offset

and rise the car up :(

soo once agn wat abt making the suspentions harder like just enough so it isnt going to touch evan with a full load?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
