Ok now have i missed something....?

Where was i when it was decided that rims and tyres that stick way out side the gaurd was cool and a good thing???

Apart from the obvious, massive rubbing over bumps, defectable etc etc it looks stupid. (thats just in my opionion of course)

Who started this trend and why would you do it for!

what do you guys and girls think??

end rant! :devil:

I don't see anything wrong with it. With the Stagea above, I wouldn't want anything more 'sunkin' in.

For me, I want the wheels to be even with the guards, anything less is :devil: in my opinion.

i agree even with the gaurds, wider the better! but not to the point they move outside of the gaurd!

I don't mind the wheels going outside of the guards on some cars. On skylines, I prefer the wheels to be flush with the rolled guards and on silvias I like the wheels sticking out at least an inch from the standard guards, but then I would flare them out.

It really depends on what car it is.

If it sticks out, it needs flares to make it even again.

Yeah, you need flaring done if the wheels are purposely made to stick out. If you're talking about not flaring and just making the wheels stick out 2", I find that stupid as well.

agreed the stagea up top looks ghey cause stagea's are very slab sided.. to get away with the look on one of those you would need to massage the gaurds out

i think the wheels sitting slightly out of the gaurds looks f**kING GOOD, but to pull it off you need stretched tyres to keep the treads under the gaurd itself, and maybe some slight flaring too

It gives the car a wider, meaner, tougher stance IMO....also means you can have wider wheels :domokun:

how does having wider wheels help when they have smaller tyres anyway?

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
