Yes camber is the key, I have camber on the rears but only due to the lowering, how quickly do you go through tyres, I was basically planning on getting smaller tyres.

I have not hit front or rears except for big mups since rolling the rears and taking the liners off the front and bending the tabs up.

How much were your adjustale camber arms ? for the rears

Nice car to mate, does anyone know if you need to cover the small wiring under the left hand front liners ?

Nice car to mate.

I am going to take the rims off this weekend and put the stockers back on, then leave them off until i get a good solution.

Just not sure what that is these are my options I think:

1-Camber with exisiting rear tyres but they will wear out quickly

2-Smaller tyres 235 or 245.

3-Both of the above

4-Buy a Nissan pulsar and have an easy automotove life lol

not reading whole thread so dont know if this has been said or if u sorted it. Get castor rods and put more castor on. That will move your front tyres forward. Making for better handling and no scrubbing. And get coilovers if u dont have them, car might not aborb bumps so much and wont scrub casue will be stiffer

I have the white line camber kit on mine ( front & rear) didn't need to go adjustable camber arms. Depends on how much you drive. if you do about 15000k's a year then that should be ok, my car is only a weekend warrior so doesn't bother me. i wouldn't worry about it rubbing the guard liner so much, they are flexible and won't do any damage to the tyres.

Having castor on the front will help turn in, however your front tyres will rub under full lock. i just got a heat gun and moulded the liner (when its hot) to accommodate for the rubbing & worked a treat

Yer I have tein Super Street coil overs, Think I will go changing the tyres options, Camber arms fitted will cost me about 395 but I think I would need a lot of camber to get them under my gaurds, thus increasing tyre wear pretty badly

I am still undsecided what to do, is the law on the wheel under the rime that it needs to be under the top of the guard only ? My mate at Bearepairs said the law now is that the tyre needs to be under the guard not the rim, either way I might post a pic of the amount it sticks out and see if you guys think that camber is the way to go or if ity would require to much camber.

How quickly do you go through a set of rear tyres n1

if its only the plastics cut them back, i did that for mine (r33 GTST)... better

flairing and pumping of guards are expensive, rolling of the guards just end up a mess, you will end up in tears

i've just lowered my coilovers (90mm ground to chassis) but the front tyres are scrubbing the guards, do the plastic linings of the guards do much or will it not matter if i take them off?

I'm pretty much the same, I have 17x10 RPF1's +18 and 275/40/17's on the back and the inner guard lip does cut into the side wall of the tyre if i have passengers in the back or hard cornering at the track.

Recommendation Sydney Area :- "Sydney Guard Rolling"

Proprietor :- Nelson

Work Done :- Flaring/Pumping/Rolling

Convenience:- Mobile Service

Contact :- 0432109331

Referred to Me By:- Wholesale Suspension

My Story:- My 'new' EVO has had new 8.75" wide rims with new RE002 rubber put on > scrubbing at the rears with the guard lips cutting into the tyres' side walls whenever I have passengers.

Nelson got to my place by 3.50pm and worked on these guards by attaching a hub bracket and carefully applying a roller.

He was very very patient due to his concern over the likelihood of cracking paint (due to previous nicki applied).

Nelson worked on it till sundown > no cracked paint > cost was $150 > terry - happy

That's definitely some useful information there. This is someone who takes pride in his work and it shows. Thanks Terry for the info and hats off to Nelson :)

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
