Can anyone recommend a place to get guards rolled in the north west? Or better yet, does someone in the north west have some rollers I could use in return for a case of beer or something?

Fitted some new tyres today which have got fatter shoulders and I'm getting some major scrubbage.

Sorry I dont know.

But just out of curiousity what size are your rims? 17x?? and offsets? and what tyres sizes do you have that makes the guard scrubb?

Want to know so I can see if I would get same thing when I get my new rims without tyres on.

They're

235/40R18 (18x9.5") Fronts

265/35R18 (18x10.5") Rears

Only the rears are scrubbing.. the fronts are fine.

It depends on the tyres tho. Falken FK451's didnt scrub. My new Maxxis MA-Z1's are scrubbing, so it depends on the shoulder of the tyre.

If your meaning all the hectik plates that the Newcastle peeps seem to have (including one of my ex's :P ) its XXX-23Q + out :ermm:

Haha... They have to be my most un-favourite plates (3Q DOES NOT EQUAL FREAK!) :ermm:

BTW i had to head down to rockdale today Anna so I just dropped in to see our mates at St George tyres who rolled the guards for $35ea :P

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
