zebra Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars? and by track I dont mean drift? Its all very well bagging out people with safe / conservative offsets..but if you are jumping ripple strips having a bee's dick of clearance to the guards and 10deg neg camber just isnt going to work, nor is having a 215 tyre streched onto a 10" wide rim. *awaits all the "hella flush" fan boys to say OMFG your car is so shit you have +22 offsets on an 8" rim with 235 tyres, you should get 50mm spacers and 185s!!12131!!ty* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/301429-wheel-fitment/page/7/#findComment-5038589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars? nice question to ask in a thread about flush fitment and style. what do you think the answer is genius? this is about visuals. if you want safe and trackable, there's another thread, no a whole section for it. GTFO and stop trolling. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/301429-wheel-fitment/page/7/#findComment-5038601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sorry, my question wasnt meant to sound sarcastic. it was more aimed at hearing peoples expirences with low offset wheels and the track.

SkyHi_33 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) i do. semi slicks front for skids semi slicks all round for grip stockies rear for motorkhanas the tyres do scrub, but with a good alignment the grip and overall feel is very good. i dont have my car scraping on the ground (yet ) nor do i run crazy camber, so its OK for now... im currently modifying my guards to suit the wheel travel so should be all good once done.

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 i do all sorts of driving in my car including hillclimbs and track... i don't really ever drift it as it's had too much money spent on it, and drifting breaks shit... that's what the pig is for Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/301429-wheel-fitment/page/7/#findComment-5039048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 true, we do motorkhana days on our stretched tyre fitment wheels, granted its flat, smooth ground so no need to worry about ripple strips etc, but there's still suspension travel and pressure distribution on tyres. Never really had an issue. I've got 215's on an 8.5 and 225's on a 9.5, which is just a moderate stretch, just gives me enough of a stretch to tuck in under a rolled guard. As for spring rates, I've got 10 in front and 8 in back, so there's not much travel. That said, its not exactly a comfy road car.

SkyHi_33 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 are bolt on guards illegal in sa ??and what about making it wider like stretching fenders :S i really wanna know more about wheel fitment regarding law Yeh man... mine are flared 30mm underneath the bolt on flares, bolt ons are 50mm. went through regency last Monday no problems. As long as you don't cut the metal underneath it you can bolt your bed to it if you wanted to. Problem with big wheels and good fitment is that you put your wheels out of legal "track" allowed for the vehicle, therefore you must get them engineered. But then again that depends on how crazy you wanna go. Ill never be able to engineer mine. joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo where did you get your roof spoiler from dude??? ive been loking for one for aaaagggeeeessss. the car looks tough!

bozodos Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 hey floody, a couple of questions, did you have to do much guard rolling to get those rims to fit? (which look fat btw), and is that an R31House sticker on the bootlid?

floody Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah little R31house foil decal on the drivers side of the boot. Fronts I haven't even rolled the guards, rear guards are rolled flat but not flared, side strips are trimmed to half depth and the metal behind them is folded to half width down to about 3" above the sills; biggest issue was rubbing in the front of the wheelarch around where the trim is. Have close to 1" clearance to the suspension inwards. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/301429-wheel-fitment/page/7/#findComment-5045271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
