My 18X9.5 + 22 have just arrived!

Will get the guards rolled and tyres fitted this week.

Then I will have some photos for you broad minded persons

Predictions - Nice fitment on front, notsoflush on rears. 10mm spacers bro :D

Fitted well on hectics car so we will see.

So getting the guards rolled

The guy just asked me how much they needed to be rolled. From my understanding it's just that inside lip part rolled up flush? Or am I missing something

Yeah, it's just a lip on the inside of your guard that needs to be pushed up to take off the sharp edge. He may be an idiot and thinks you mean flare? If he doesn't know what rolling is, goto someone else..

Im a major noob to wheels guys im upgrading to a series 3 R33 GTR soon and CBF reading through the 107 pages lol :yes: but basically the below link are the rims im looking to buy im after these in 18x10 - 10.5" if i can get them just wondering if anybody can tell me what offset i would need to get 275-285s under the ass without stupid camber or rolling guards etc they also need to clear my alcon brakes which are 315mm rear rotors and 4 spot calipers and and fronts are 356mm rotors with BIG 4 spot calipers im after diiiiiiiish also :whistling: Is this possible?

Cheers fellas

^ sure can and u can do an awesome job to if you take ur time at it

- Roll it with a round bar on the tyre! Do that by hamd and not with motion of the car or ull fu** the guard

- Can hammer it flat while bracing with ur hand on the outerside of the guard (obviously use a panel beaters hammer.....hard plastic ones)

Thats just some of the ways

Nah thats about right some people charge $75 a side however just for a roll on inside should not crack paint specially if they know what they are doin

Take some time and buy 5$ hammer n do it properly yourself massaging the inner lip flat!

You will appreciate it more and get a bit of experience :)

On the fronts make sure you take out the guard liner and tabs etc before hitting it :)

yeah take it out... i dont run them on any of my cars lol

just be sure when you are hitting the guard that you brace with your hand on the outsite of the guard where you are hitting and you will be sweet :) just work slowly around until you have the desired affect you want

Stock arms just lowered with coilovers which gave them some camber. Will be going in for a wheel alignment after this weekend and I can get exact figures.

Fronts I am going to remove the liner and roll them because of scrubbing

I have a guard roller, but I have also done it with a baseball bat over the tyre.

you can even just raise the car, jam a phone book in there and lower it again slowly and let it sit... that's how we did bombtrack's 34 front guards.

just need to have a heatgun for all methods

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
