Dude, I just spent $700 repairing these wheels. If I sold them I would even get what I paid for them (which was too much for starters). :laugh:

Will definitely make the wheels wider if it's cheap enough.

whitehorse industries i think its called?

for real, i feel bad for you come in here ask for advice and get burnt to a crisp everytime.

sell the wheels u got now, get the right wheels through streeter or something worth the wait and save ya self f**kin around.

:laugh:

probably the most worthwhile post i've ever made, someone quote this shit.

there

make wheels wider?

even if it is possible, it wouldnt be cheap

Sweet! This sounds like a good option..

I really don't want to sell my current wheels after spending so much money getting them repaired and redone in a custom colour.

except that the wheels that you've got can't be widened. good luck with that.

I won't say the business that I bought the wheels through.. but I was expecting them to be in good condition.

Turns out they were structurally damaged and needed extensive repair work.

Wheels were: $1650

Repair: $700

Tires: $1100

So around $3500 all up. Worth over 40% of the car price haha...

why didn't you test fit beforehand? :laugh:

why didn't you test fit beforehand? :blink:

Coz I paid for them before they even landed in Australia.. Plus I knew the rears would be tucked in. These are the wheels that Hamish suggested I get. He said I would want a 10mm spacer though.

N00b question.... Would it hurt to have a little bit of positive camber in the rears? So they look wider than they really are? And then a little bit of negative camber in the front?

Or would that make the car handle like a bag of dicks?

do not run positive camber in the rears. It'll mean when you corner your rear wheels will have minimal contact with the surface. your car is already snap oversteering inclined cos all your weight is on the rear, guess what happens when you have no grip as well in the rear?

Find a 10mm spacer and STFU

10mm/15mm bolt on spacer. then STFU, get your balls in a bunch and roll your guards. do it or I will punch you in your sandy, fickle, good advice ignoring vagina. yes, this justaposition implies you're a hermaphrodite. deal w/ it.

Or cut your losses, sell the wheels and actually buy ones that will fit instead of ghettoing it up, and getting cheap shit on a whim that it may fit.

Where do I get a 10mm spacer with hubcentric rings to suit? I could find any. That's the only reason I went for the 20mm

I really can't afford to count my losses.. I'm running out of cash very quickly. Still need to get a new gearbox and address the rust that is starting to appear.

15mm then man up and roll the guard.

you can get 10mm from the US/Japan, but expect to pay a lot more.

Like these:

Rear guards are already rolled. Wouldn't they need to be flared though? My fronts hit the guard like a mofo and they're only sticking out 6mm.

15mm spacers in the rear would mean 10+mm out of the guard.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
