HAHA @ 40gallon drum!!

Im running 275s on the rear end of my S1 33, and theyre stretched onto an 11" rim id say maybe(if they make them, im no tyre expert) a 295 would go on it no problems, but getting an 11" rim into stock not even lipped guards may be a slight headache, maybe 11" with a +40 or +50 offset would do it, but i dunno what it would scrub against on the inside, like hit the suspension or something.

Plus I dunno if u slam 33s how the camber turns out, id say the height of your car would make a difference too?!?

Probably best to talk to a tyre shop, actually a few tyre shops.

U really need a list of people who are running fairly fat tyres on the @ss end of their 33 with stock guards to post up their rim width and offset. Change the title of the thread so ppl do list their sizes and go by that maybe?

Or u could go out to your car when the rain stops and measure up your current rims, plus the distance to the closest inner object(ie: springs), plus the distance to the edge of the guard, do the math and u have the answer :cheers:

How big are the spacers? If u can find out the offset that will help u a bit.

Are the rims your running those in your sig? Axis Hiro? Lenso GT-05?

How much room u got left between the outside of the rim/tyre and the guard/wheel arch?

I reckon a 275 no problem or maybe even a 285(do they make these?) would get under the @ss end!?!

Guard mods FTW!!! :O

Yeah they are the axis hiro. But im not planning on changing mine. Wont know with guard room until I change suspension as right now its sits pretty high.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
