yeah this is only temporary until the next pay check

shit ok I'm gonna shave off a bit more then.

Hit the brakes with the file this morning, now its got about a bee's dick of clearance, could just fit my 10 thou feeler gauge through it. how much clearance should I ideally have for expanding metals?

damn. i found a pair for $100 locally

Collingwood

well I'm working on a shoestring budget on this thing until my next paycheck, would I be able to file down the caliper lip in the meantime to the run the wheels until I find a girlock set, or will that be unsafe?

ok, well for these at least.

OK so I just change the caliper? Awesome.

got a link by any chance? Are they a complete bolt in unit for the ke70 struts?

just an update for reference for anyone in the future looking to run -2 in the front, the wheels will not clear the calipers, you'll need a 5-10mm spacer to make it work. On another note, anyone got spacers for sale?

Yes! Gonna put a boot lip and a front spoiler (maybe) on too. Will look the goods! can't wait to have it all done.

well its got some new 175/60s that come with them that i was hoping to run for a while before going to something with a lower profile. I think that should do the trick for now? Now, one question for the Melbourne guys, where's a reasonable place to get the rear reset around inner Melbourne?

Yes I did, I'm glad I don't need spacers, I wanted to avoid that if necessary. Once I get through the pits I'm gonna chuck those on. I got a set of the 50mm lowered king springs and will get the rear reset. I'm hoping I don't need to lip and roll the guards much as I was intending to keep a stock body. But considering I've already committed by buying the wheels, I heard the TE27 lips are the way to go? What do you guys reckon?

Hey all, First post. Got myself into a KE35, interest mainly lie in early german and big yank tanks but got this car in a swap and thought I might have some fun with it. I got a set of work equip 01s off the site in R14x7JJ -2 on the front and R14x8JJ -2 out back with 175/60s all round. Just wondering what I'll need for clearance to get these to fit? I read another thread with a guy fitting in 14x7 with 0 offset on with only 5mm spacers at the front but I would just like to ask for advice for anyone whose done this already to save me the hassle of buying different spacers, etc. Thanks in advance, great site!
