the rear has a +10 offset. during the time I took the pic, the rear was in a negative toe since the hicas bar has not been installed yet so the wheels doesn't look straight.

iv actualy looked into re-drilling, the back part that meets with the hub has to be solid no holes or valleys, think it was like $85 a rim from somewhere in slacks creek, just have to keep my eyes peeled

those rears look pretty sweet, how wide r they?

i say decently roll em. flares are for wider rims, there nuffin worse then a car with nice wide flares/guards but u cant fill em in well, at least thats my thoughts :P

yea i see wat u mean, altho is $85 the cheapest you've seen? Edited by Dan_J

I'm having the same issue where it looks like the rim is too wide to pump the guard, but if I was going to have them flared I'd want to do it properly.. but then my rims wouldn't be wide enough lol I should've bought the 10" wide for the rear.

i never looked around for prices, thats a quote i got maybe 1 year ago, im sure if you looked around or knew the right people you could get it done for less..

bloke at works his brother has an import licence so im gonna give him some details and he gonna try find some rims in 18x9/10 round the 12+ offset for me.. what offset am i lookin for the front?

im also puttin off the re-spray till i get the rims, no point playin with freshly painted guards i figure

Mate don't go bolt on flares, those wheels will fit perfectly after flaring the back guards. What width are those rims? 9" or 10"? Couldn't make out in the photo if those tyres are 225/45/17's or 235/45/17's. You could also stretch those tyres a little bit more for more clearence, 225's if they're 235's or 215's if 225's.

Thats mad. What about front ? what offset ? What rim width? Tire sizes ?

Here are the wheel specs and tire size:

front- 17x8 +5 offset tires-215x45

rear- 17x9 +10 offset tires 235x40

I just mounted the front earlier and it just sticks out about an inch only so now, I opted to have my fenders rolled combined with a camber plate. :)

Dan_J,

I'll just roll them since the flares is actually my last resort if rolling won't be enough. :)

Hypnotik,

Yeah, I find the flares a bit out of shape for the car as I test fitted some. I prefer the stock looking body with rolled fenders. :)

for a 10 width in the front, you may still mount it up but you have to use coilovers so that the tires won't foul up to the stock spring perch. you may be required to maybe roll the fender a littlle.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
