Wheel Fitment

[Pepsinator]

So i dont see much cars in adelaide or aus with flush fitments

how come?

is it because of the legality?

whats the go with wheels and tires in south australia anyone know?

like how much can they stick out how much stretch camber etc?

heres a celica i saw the other day

its really the only car ive seen with some nice fitment

examples

Legality would be part of it, AFAIK its illegal for any part of the wheel or tyre to touch the bodywork (in NSW at least).

have u tried driving around with good fitment?

you get pulled over way too much

[R31Nismoid]

having them stick out - is not good fitment at all. It's the direct opposite.

Id imagine the laws to be rims/tyres must not protrude from the guard, which is what Victoria is...

You can fill the guards nicely and have a car look good without going outside the guard anyway.

Also, the majority of Australian car enthusiasts don't understand the concept of offset. As long as the car looks fully sick from profile, that's all they give a shit about.

Thankfully stanced and hellaflush cars are coming into fashion, so we might see the cheaper wheels come in decent offsets.

i rock fitment

ignore my body work. lol

[bozodos]

ssr's look fat hamish

TBQH I had no concept of wheel offsets before I started reading SAU, I kind of knew that wheels looked gay when sitting in the guards, but didn't know anything of how that can be changed.

I'll post up a pic when i get a chance of my +22 offset volks, they are pretty much flush with the guard, look great like that IMO and don't scrub!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

new ssr's going on this wed... will pic whore when done....
