HOWWWWWW are 235 to big for 18X10!?!?!

guard work as in a roll? or as in flair?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

depends.... 265 on 10+38 and 0 deg camber + guards level with tyres will require a roll and a bit of a push, more than just a lip.

depends on how agressive you go.

285 and you will have to be fairly aggressive or flare

[ScreamerNewbie]

haha thought so .

by fairly aggressive you mean like 20mm flair from stock and rolled until flat? or more?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

33gtst guards are fairly generous when rolling,

I'd say you would easily be able to get the 265's without flaring as long as you pump the whole guard out a bit.

need to roll then set the guard roller high up in the guard and use it to push the whole area.

I had 18 x 9.5 +12 w 235/40 and tyres tucked a little with almost 0 camber and 0 scrub from pumping the guards

this is slightly more aggressive than what you are looking at with the 265's and with 285's the outside top edge of the tyre will sit in approximately the same spot, but with a slightly bulged sidewall.

so yeah, for the 285's it's possible without flaring but you would need a serious pump

[ScreamerNewbie]

serious pump as in like 20mm? or a lot more? not sure how thick/strong the inner guard is on the rear looks pretty tough

[34GeeTeeTee]

The 34 took 275/35 on the rear with no hassle at all, the 285 have a larger rolling diameter too, 265/35 is closest to factory i think...

Run 265, roll the guards and don't be afraid of using a bit of neg camber (-0.5°).

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

-0.5 should see the wheels flat on WOT anyway no?

[ScreamerNewbie]

yeah wanting absolute MAXIMUM traction due to the 700hp that will be trying to excape the rear wheels lol

[34GeeTeeTee]

Run 265, roll the guards and don't be afraid of using a bit of neg camber (-0.5°).

I run this setup and it hooks up OKish with 265 RSR, well once its through 3rd anyhow, with a better tyre and better throttle control i think itll be pretty good!

AD08 or RE-11 or R-S3 brooooo

Brief update, which seems kind of relevant given recent questions on 265s.

This is 18x10 +38 with 265/35. Have recently had suspension adjusted and now at zero camber on rear. Before was more than 2deg, didn't realise was that much

Still no problems at all with rubbing after adjustment, have had a fairly light roll, no pull or flare.

Before and after

View from the top. Poking by maybe 5 mm.

[ScreamerNewbie]

ok thanks heaps for that! my car would be sitting as lowwww as possible to the rim so a bit more flair

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeh, I was referring to a low car saying it will need to be pulled

[ScreamerNewbie]

okie dokies well thanks heaps for all your help guys!. any one done any guard PULLING?

[M@&k]

yeh, I was referring to a low car saying it will need to be pulled

True true. Mine is lowered (hence the previous 2deg+ camber), but not that low as you can see from pics.
