now i already have wide wheels with a deep dish and lipped/rolled and flared guards.

the rims i want are

18x9.5 +25 front

and

18x12 +20 front

now the fronts will fit no fkn problem at all

but how far out are the back ones gonna sit out.

ive bought some bolt on flares for it but i wanna know how much they are gonna stick out

Using standard 18-inch '34 GTR rims as a guide, they're 9.0" wide with +30 offset and they sit pretty much perfectly flush on standard GT-T guards. The rear rims (12inch?) that you've got, they should sit about 86mm out from the guards.

Hope that helps :(

Regards,

offset calculator

if you cant use that jules, then please hand you license into your nearest vicroads ;)

lol

vic roads took my licence a long time ago brother.

i get the calulator, but the part that i couldnt work out was how far out they will stick from the guards

but, thanks for the link cuz

it will defianetly be pulled off.

ive already bought the front and rear guards in carbon, its all the way now.

just gotta wait for some more cash to come in a few weeks (tax time) so i can paint the car .... again (2 in 4 months lol)

my mate has 11.5's on the back of his with a -20 offset or something and his guards are just rolled flared etc (like heaps lol) so i dont see y i cant fir them on my 34 with 40mm less offset haha

yeah man ill add a pic of what it looked like before i lost my licence.

since then it has had a cage put in, 2 brides, carbon bonnet and boot

i have a 2630 being built for it atm

and a whole f**k load more carbon on the way.

heres the build thread if u want

and a pic as well of the wheels i wanna get, there nothing special but they r nice and wide

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 馃槵 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 馃槄
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
