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.

get the 10mm spacers then. you should be able to flex the metal 5mm pretty easily. I got an extra 10mm out of my ceffy when I rolled it. Didn't need a respray.

just sell the wheels and start again if it's all too hard for you.

also helps if you stretch tyres. I tucked a 10.5" with 225's on the back of the cef. no way that would fit without stretched tyres.

your tyres are probably scraping on the front cos you're probably running Pat spec tyres.

nice... I don't see any hub locating rings on those wheels either. And you wanted to run 5mm spacers? oh dear.

notice rim isn't even visible cos the tyre's too big? if your wheel is tucked this is how it should be, but if your wheel is mexican then you need to stretch at the bare minimum to prevent it getting cut up every time you hit a bump.

compare this to mine:

see what you need to do if you're running flush or slightly pokey wheels?

Hmm... So fronts would be better with like a 205 yeah? And a bit of negative camber? Would that affect handling?

depends. if you like drag races only then it's bad. if you like cornering then it's good. if you like tyre longevity then GTFO.

more pressing issue would be to get some hub locating rings on those wheels. atm the only thing holding them in place are your lugs.

haha yeah, that's the other thing - if you go hub centric spacers then hole in the spacer need to match the hubs and the ring on the spacers need to match the wheels - or run hub rings as well as spacers

But did the rings match your hubs or your rims?

I bought ones to suit an MR2. So I guess?? 60.1 is the number I was told to order.

I really have no idea what I'm talking about, as you can guess.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
