So I read this blog called Hellaflush that loves cars whose wheels are absolutely flush without a gnats whisker between rim or tire and guard. Lots of pictures.

Anyway just wondering.. a newb question. How does that even work? Must they have rock hard zero travel suspension or do the wheels camber up enough to just slide past the guards, or they only drive on glass smooth roads and never do 3 point turns faster than 1 mph .. or what?

hard ass coilovers...

i run rims outside the guards, low as on 8/6 greddy's and have near flat camber on the rears and you cant fit a finger between my tyres and guards.

i never scrub and my car sees track, street, hills etc...

with harder coils i could go closer... but meh

I have relativley soft coilovers on my 34 and they dont scrub on the guards at all, and there is very little room between the guard and tyre.

The only time's the front rubs is if im going up a kerb on full lock, but only minor. I have a 235 on a 9.5" rim though.

Fitment makes a car look wider and tougher, who care's about the handling lol

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
