>And now a set of Rays Extended Type Red Lug Nuts. biggrin.gif Bought them 2nd hand cause i didnt feel i needed it new... Ill take the wheel off every now and then and then the lug nuts will get scratched either way. So i bought these for a fraction of the retail cost. Very happy.




Extended FTW.


Sucks cause its raining again right now and forecast to rain all weekend. I hope it stops so i can put the front coils in. Sigh..

So heres a most recent picture of my car


And i saw this ae111 which lives in the suburb next to mine on a forum, and was like **** look alike or what? So there will be a photoshoot with a ae11 and st204 soon maybe when we can sort out time for a nice cameraman, time and place.



And still waiting for 25mm spacers to come into stock, they sent me 25mm 5x114.3, had to send them back and now have to wait 7 weeks for the 5x100. Oh and maybe maybe get a whiteline rear sway bar, but for the time being a no stopping fine and a insurance claim to pay off. Sucks ay......

Ps. Heres a mad pic of what your going to see in your eyes if you ever look at my car from below the cut off of the projector headlight. You'll be blind laugh.gif

Getting away from all reality and uni **** for abit.

Ordered a pair of 15mm bolt on spacers hopefully they come in the next two days for my fronts. Still trying to track down a 35mm set locally or get a quote to get them custom made. If not the price of http://www.motorsport-tech.com isnt too bad just the shipping is USD75, yeh super homo.

Heres the light i see at the end of the tunnel.

Effectivly 0 offset biggrin.gif Harold suggests +5 for flush, but since my car has neg 3 degree camber and i want some poke +35 should be sweet.

Got my 15mm bolt on today. Tried to fit them on but there is clearance issues. The clearance issues is with the back of the wheel and the existing studs that protrude through the 15mm spacer. I had a hunch i would have this issue. Well anyway the front wheels are off and in the car and going to take them to the wheel shop and ask them what i should do. Probably shave it whats needed from the wheel to make room.

That was my problem. And since someone mentioned marcos wheel setup on his car on the weekend. I only just realised +15 all round would look the best meaning i need 20mm spacers all round.

Which also means to STOP what i wanted to do with my rims at the wheel shop (drill pockets at the back). But no too late got the call up at 8am that they were ready. (**** i like quick work and everything but that was too quick to stop them!)

Nothing i could do but go a pay for the labour and take my wheels and 15mm spacers which i clearly dont need anymore home.

Heres what i need to buy now,
20mm
25mm

So bascially marcos wheel setup but i will have +5mm more poke at the rear. Just gotta wait till they have stock... yes the waiting game.

Update Time!!

Basically got home today and found my 2 pairs of 20mm spacers in my room after yearrrrs of waiting. Quickly jacked my fronts and threw them on. I didnt bother with my rears cause i knew i had to roll them before any more poke... or else my rear guards would be destroyed. Basically the fronts look amazing, sticking out just enough ;p

It got dark pretty quick finished the fronts at 6pm. And had dinner. Went for a quick drive to see what was rubbing, and lets say i was RUBBING ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!. Just a quick drive around my neighborhood and rub here rub there rub everywhere. Came home, had a look at the guards, the inner guard lost paint onto the tyre. Now its way too cold outside and too dark to take them off. So i gotta deal with the fact to drive to work with constant rubness.

Till i can organise something on friday if im not working for a professional guard rolling to roll all 4 corners for me.

But yeh its going to look pretty sick thats what i know for sure biggrin.gif

Here are some reference pics for the fronts and rears. In these pics fronts are 17x8 +15 and rears are still 17x8 +35 till i get them rolled. Guards are stock and not rolled yet. Well not till 30 minutes from now

Fronts




What happens when you run on with stock guards, lowered ride height and 8" with +15 offset. The tyres get sliced...


And this is a reference pic of -2.8 camber 8" wide +35 with stock guards. On bumps the guard lip rides against the wall of the tyre.

Okay the guard rolling guy said he could only roll the rears ones as the front ones had nothing to roll in. I trusted what he said as this was his profession and everyone speaks highly on his work.
And for reference this is 17x8 +15 all round. Roughly -2.8 camber at back and =1.5 at front. I hope this inspires more people down the "flush look" road

So only the rears were rolled. Here are the pics




My bruised fender


Since nothing could be done with the fronts, i raised them back up 1cm until i get lower profile tyres and if that doesnt work more neg camber?




And also a couple days a got some fine sandpaper and cleaned the hell out of my zorst

Oh man, those wheels look nice. I plan on doing that soon... need spacers though. I just love the car/wheel color combo. Question though, did the guy that did your fenders have to screw around with the liner, or was it just roll and done?

The plastic lining on the inside of the wheel well. I'm wondering if it had to be cut or anything.

The rears dont have the plastic lining, only the fronts. And the fronts didnt/couldnt get rolled.

I think it looks really good Rico. Its not over the top or extreme 'hella flush', not a fan of that look.

It's clean, practical and I like. Perfectly in line with fender

What brand spacers are you running?

Couldnt you just take the front finder plastics out then roll the front?
