I was test fitting my race wheels and tires unfortunately the rear arches were resting on the tires. I managed to flare them .75inch using a bottle jack and nothing else.

 

here is the left rear guard resting on the tire

 

 

 

 

 

 

and after flaring the right side it looked like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

finished product turned out pretty nice

intreresting...

 

should get some photos of the actual car to show what it looks like

Dude, is that ur paint cracking n shiz? if so HI5 cause i have the same prob, but the wheels look like they sit in ok, prob just watch out for the front gards

when I found the car it was sitting under a bush, so the original paint is badly cracked

 

 

I have photos of before I flared them but I didn't take any after but I will in the next day or so as my new rear shocks arrive today 8/

 

so I'll include the before pics in this post

 

Holy crap that's a f@$king beast. 8/

Looks like I may be putting some nice wheels on for street use 8/

I was about to say it's not a sleeper at all, but I read the sheep and wolf back-to-front.

G`day mate, your car is looking great so far. Is there a possibility that you know the brand of the steel wheels with the Hoosiers on them please. I have a set of 15x8 on my Landcruiser that were there when I bought it and I would love to go with the same type on my ke70 if I can find them. I`ve looked everywhere that I can think of but no luck so far.

Keep up the good work on your rolla.

these are a custom wheel made in the 80's they started as a 13x 5.5 RWD American racing steelie and they were cut and had 1.25in added so this set is rather unique.

 

I think in your case find a wheel you really like and have the barrels replaced with the width you like.

Thanks mate, I guess that I will just have to keep looking.
