[Mr Eps]

what would be an ideal wheel offset?

i bought some 18"x 8" wheels with a +42 offset

i have stock suspension,i bought them 5 weeks ago overseas and i pick them up today, son of rajab hopes i can get them to clear the suspension

perhaps someone like meggala can help with what would be the ideal offset?

[Ceffo]

dude your gonna need spacers or really massive negative camber on em to get those on. Esp if you got coilovers whihc wont allow u to fit em on.

Hrms I got some 18x8 with +40.... they best be fitting on my damn car Possible way to get them fit is to adjust the struts to be at max negative camber and the factory camber adjustment set to maximum positive... sould give a bit more clearance.

roll the guards and get some spacers and they should be fine... SHOULD

If your going to lip/roll the guards, make sure you do it properly, with dollys and a dead blow, not those crappy gaurd rollers that sit on the hub.

The previous owner already rolled my guards

I have 18x8 I believe. The front has spacers, max camber (whatever setting it is) and it's rolled.

What happens if you use the hub roller thingies?

Ive heard stories of paint seperation later on, plus you will notice that the wheel arch isnt a semi circle.

Mate of mine works for Car Shine, rolls/lips guards on a lot of BMW/Mercs/Audis etc, he said they use to use a hub mounted guard roller, but had a lot of problems and complaints, and went back to doing it the old way. Now the guard roller sits in a pile of tyres out the back.

[someonestolecc]

Ahh fair nuff C. That sounds reasonable.

BMW/Merc/Audi lipped = the phatz0r.

Even with the other way I thought you had to repaint that bit?

As far as I know, done properly with heat etc, it is possible to reshape the guard while keeping the paint intact.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I F UCKEN ROOLE!

too bad suckers these rims are 18x8 with +42 offset and they fit PERFECT perfect offset n ALL

HAAA HAAA

ps JK are your rims mesh ssr? dave says they're ssr, is this true? won't you need a 5stud conversion?

[Mr Eps]

Oh Mr Eps I just had a thought whilst on the dunny.... the reason why your wheels fit at the moment is that youre using standard struts... so your springs are acutally seated above the level of the tyre. You just wait till you try and fit coilovers... the tyre and wheel will definately foul on a coilover spring. You best be ordering spacers with your coilovers tiger, or choose a suspension package that utilises the same type of strut design.
