Whats to explain?

3 piece rims have an inner, an outer and a center section.

The inner and outer sections have a flange and the bolts go through the 2 flanges and through the edge of the center section to hold all 3 bits together.

A leak through the bolt hole means that the sealant thats normally covering the joint has come away (probably due to age).

Personally Loren, i'd take the whole thing to a decent wheel repair place and tell them to re seal it as you will have to strip the tyre and possibly disassemble the rim to do it properly. If you're in Sydney try Morton and May at Warwick Farm.

i had to do this with a set of rims i used windscreen sealant, but it is a pain in the ass job to do you have to strip the trye, dismantle the rim and clean all of the exsisting sealant off, the rim needs to be perfectly clean otherwise it will leak again, the truck i found was not to use huge amounts of sealent, after two attempts i got it to seal nicely

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
