car height has not changed, custom flare is 35 mm longer to tuck the tyre ,without compromising travel or suspension comfort :blinks:
the original guard inner and outer are still there , just a piece welded over the top :rolls:
so your going to tub the front and rear ?
if not it will not turn with that size tyre and rim unless it is going to be 4x4 height,
i have 225/45/15 on 9.5's on the front and they go lock to lock now after some massaging
just make a steel flare ,it will be easier and work better .
my guards are still factory steel
i run 15 x 9.5/15 x 10 with 225/45/15 or 15 x 8.5/9.0 with 205/50/15
it all comes down to doing the work to make them fit and getting the right wheels to start with.
my suspension is still all standard settings except castor which i run maxxed.
ride height is 105mm at the lowest point ,i.e legal
pic is on the jackso yeah it's "lower" than ride height :dance:
these will be the new daily rims :dance:
15 x 9.5 0 offset front with 225/45/15 semi slick medium compound
15 x 10 -6 offset rear with 225/45/15 semi slick hard compound
FYI... tyres cost $380+gst EACH..... :blinks:
but thats the price of coolness i guess
one off set of rims , super rare and expensive tyres= no one going to be copying my shit :laff:
the centres are now powdercoated and wheels will be final assembled this weekend
so
my 16 x 7 +20 SSR EX-C fins arrived today
now all stripped
centres are going off for powdercoating
centre nuts have bad corrosion under the gold plate so they have been stripped and will be powdercoated as well
i need to take my 15 x 9.5/10 barrels to my machinist to have 2 mm machined out of them so these centres fit perfectly
should be on the car within 10 days hopefully
205/50/15or 205/55/15 tyres will be mounted unless i can find some 215/45/15 toyos somewhere, just need to test fit to judge the stretch
then the rear guards will be cut off and new donor lips welded on , may weld them on an inch lower to give more "tuck"
candy apple orange over silver mettallic ..2 coats clear
silver mettallic centres .. 2 coats clear
all powdercoat
oh and i do have 4 of them :lolcry:
15 x 8 -10 :dance:
pics do not do justice , can't see the silver mettalic in pics :wink:
