RA28GT Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Went to try on ravens spaces tonight, just help them on there roughly. I liked the flares on the car thats for sure however the wheels did not fill the flares enough for my liking, so I'm not sure what to do now? they probably could of done with an extra 20mm on the rear and 10mm on the front of poke? so i'm not sure what i should do, might sell the wheels and look for something wider or possibly a negative offset? Big thanks to Raven for the use of the flares even though it was dark! See dodgy pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) could always pick up a set of fibreglass ones and shave them down and modify a bit till they are to your liking. Edited April 19, 2009 by SLO-030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 or fiberglass mould those ones then make them a little bigger out to cover those tyres or just stretch a smaller tyre onto the car :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA28GT Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Heres what I'm thinking at the moment Option 1: Run 10mm spaces on front (already have), and use some 20mm on the rear Option 2: Run 10mm spaces on front and purchase new superlights in 13x8 with negative offset? (-4?) Option 3: Buy new wheels alltogether :jamie: Option 4: Do sweet fu*k all At the moment i'm liking option 2 but my wallet is liking option 1? Thoughts?

There already stretched somewhat mate, there 175's on a 7"rim there is no possible way to fit them inside the standard guard even if I'm running a 135 lol. They stick out 30mm by the way.

SLW42 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 you can't grab multi's and just pull the gaurds out a bit then throw some fiberglass and bog around that? oh ok well there is always 165's :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA28GT Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I think i might cry putting some multi's on my guards lol, i've considered it but i didn't want to really do a backyard style job, i haven't had enough experience with bodywork anyway. I need a 70 to hack up with mutli's and fiberglass lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW42 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 lol i did it to mine on the back but my gaurds were full of rust anyway hahaha there are plenty of 70's at the wreckers and people sellng them get some front gaurds and then hack them to bits and weld them to your car then roll them and try to get them to suit your cars style if at all possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen20v Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 The wheels look awesome. Go with option 2 or 4 and sell them to me. Lol. Then I can convince the other half not to go with bolt ons. Creeps me out thinking of hacking up my guards. :jamie: On the other hand, done right, it would be awesome. Have you ever been down to Buddy Parts? Last time I was down there he had some awesome Panasports in 8's or 8.5. Wish I'd picked them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzo Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 a little inspiration... all three examples you posted LOL a ke15 with drag style rims, an el gringo ke26 with 200mm too much poke and a pic of a ke25 I can't even see lol you can't grab multi's and just pull the gaurds out a bit then throw some fiberglass and bog around that? oh ok well there is always 165's :jamie: NO NO NO!!! some people do things less dodgy and spend a bit more time doing things properly. how it should be done. I actually like the look of the flares on the car! I think you should go with 15-20mm spacers on front, and 13x8 -4s on the rear. That should sit overrated with those flares. I am really searching yahoo for some wata's for my ke20 now lol Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
