Rollin On Vip Godfathers Bitches

[funkymonkey]

So I pimped my old man's car cos I was embarassed to be seen in it.

Oh snap! Godfather rims baby!. 18x8.5" in the front, 18x9.5" at the back. Hoping to stretch some 215/35/18's in the front and 225/40/18's in the back. I might hit up Option1Garage for some Cum-ho's.

Has anyone had any issues fitting this size on a cef in terms of rubbing and stuffs?

Also just bought a Grace bodykit from Erin @ JDM Garage up here in brissy. Needs a bit of work and some paint before it goes on.

thats awesome

i wana drop an RB26 in my dads car haha

[Jezboosted]

i will find out off a mate who has an A31 ceffy on 18's and pretty low too just exactly what size his rims and tyres are..

also.... you do know DUB's means 20" or bigger right ?

[funkymonkey]

yeah I know... "Rollin on Tweeeens bitches" doesn't quite have the same effect tho.

Well technically I bought it for my dad (hence the auto trans), then I got it back off him after he wrote it off. So I guess its my car now.

[Dan_J]

when did he write it off, u mean that lil scuff on the front bar back then?

lol

far as i no mite need to mod the rear bar wheel arches a lil if your gonna run a body kit

looking the goods

some lady back into a 3 lane road while he was comin down it at 70... radiator panel took the brunt of it, and the right fender. bonnet was pushed up. Insurance co wrote it off, I bought it back, fixed it up at Driftline, welded in a new rad panel, replaced all the broken parts, re-engineered and now back on the road.

Good to see!

[Jezboosted]

yeah tweeeens does sound silly LOL

ok my mates A31 has 18x8.5 allround on 235-40's and it does scrub every now and then

[Midnight x]

what are the offsets of the rims, by looking at them i would guess they are +20~+30

they should fit ok with the tyres you specified. when it sits down the tyre should pull in at the top and sit under the guard

[Mr Eps]

hey

how you going

looking at the stick out of them, i have rims with similar amount of stickout

the tyres you specified will go fine without guard rolling - speaking from experience here

looks the goods man

[toffy]

nice , got any pics of the kit??

[funkymonkey]

ummm its this kit... which is a Grace kit from what I can tell, but some people seem to think its the mythical Autech S2 kit, and other think its a TBO kit.

[konect]

That blue car looks familiar...anyone know where it is now?

[Dan_J]

that looks like phil's old car, but its not, just very similar(unless it had a few more changes nd then was shipped out)

its "works"(insert other letters/numbers here) car now, west side of melb

got some Kumho KU31's stretched onto the wheels last weekend. Bigups to Option1Garage... great guys and prices that make me want to touch myself in inappropriate places.

215/40/18 on 18x8.5 +35

225/40/18 on 18x9.5 +35

Ready to go on the car

rolled the lip on the guards and fitted the wheels up today. realised that my rear's are sporting some gangster toe in's will have to fix soon.

Huge thanks to dave for taking a few hours to roll my guards. Very nice finish.

Car sits about 7cm off the ground... with 3 people in the car the exhaust hangs about 2cm off the ground... gonna have to do some remedial surgery on the mounts this weekends.

Flushhhhhhhhh

Pants tighten everytime you look in the side mirror and just see the edge of the wheel chillin outside the guard.

Flushhh FAIL in the front by about 1.5cm. Didn't realise that the guard would flex so much when rolled. will need to get longer bolts and space it out or buy more Godfathers... MOAR GODFATHERS!!!1!

And finally...

You know you love it. myrewards!

Looks so clean and not dumped...*rethinks stock bumpers*
