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.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
