Nuts! What about front ? Rubbing anywhere ? :D

17x9.5+18 driftek on the front.

10/8 coilovers on full hard take care of any scrubbing issues. rear guards are pumped as much as possible without buckling.

still some slight scrubbing issues on the inner guard but the hammer will sort that.

well i have 17*9 + 20 and they sit out of the guards a fair bit. I'm running 235/45/17.

an extra .5 inch would make it .25" on either side of the wheel (6.4mm) then the +18 offset would make it sit 2mm more outwards (compared to mine). So it would be a total of 8mm more than mine.

Also, being 18" instead of 17" would make them closer to the arch in terms of diameter.

Nothing a bit of guard pumpage and tyre stretch won't fix.

I've trial fitted some 17 x 9 +10 Work Meisters (F = 215/45/17, R= 225/45/17) from a mate who is selling them. I love the look of them on the car :( , but just a little concerned about how much rolling/pumping of the guards will need to be done, primarily to the rear with the door aligning so close to the guard. Currently I'm only getting some light scrubbing on the rear with a bit of aggressive driving. How have you guys gone with rolling/flaring of the rear? much paint cracked? or what are yours thoughts as in would I be better off going for some different rims with a better offset?

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.  
    • And if it still spikes, just for now, turn off VCT completely by disabling it OR simply unplug the solenoid. Just to rule out excessive exhaust pressure. I recall a video from Motive DVD about a decade ago, where Hawkins original single Garrett GTX3582 or so turbo had boost control issues sub 1.4bar of boost as well.   Food for thought? Is there anyway you can peg the WG completely open and/or dodgily not plumb it back into your exhaust system for testing purposes?
