Leaving Skid Marks
Ok, I stand corrected on that point, but that means you could only roll the guards and get clearance that way, but no flaring for added width.
The problem with the flares is that they do not give any extra clearance at all. They make the guards appear wider, yes, but there is no extra tyre/wheel clearance. The stock metal guard remains in place and there is a piece of solid plastic attached to it. If your wheels hit standard guards without flares, they will hit guards with flares because all that you have done is attach some plastic to the panel. Actual increases in clearance are achieved by moving the INNERMOST point of the guard outwards.
And Joel's wheels ARE 18x9 +38, I know because mine just arrived and on a trial fit I can see that they are perfect fitment at the front. The rear? Well that's why god invented spacers.
Which wheels did you get, Tim?
Haha pics up tonight!
Haven't got my roller yet so the guards are still dead stock, and I have issues with clearance on the front guards mostly (there's a gap of maybe 10mm or so between tyre and guard and they hit the guard lip on sharp bumps). Had 4 people in the car yesterday and the rears don't seem to scrub much, so hopefully a light roll on the rears should make them 100% safe.
Have you rolled the front guards? And if you did what did you do with the plastic inner guard things? Still in place or did you have to remove them?
And yeah they do clear the arms, just. I'm running Circling 235/40s. Junk tyres but for $110 each the price was right.
Nice work, looks tops.
Tyre manufacturers definately make a difference, my 235's don't tuck in the much at all. Need to lower your rear a bit
A 9 +35 wouldn't be hard to squeeze in. Also, I've added a pic of the back of my wheels for the non believers...
How is it getting over speed humps?
I think my trust exhaust hang's pretty low on top of the car being lowered which made driving it before I raised the front 25mm Very crainge worthy.
But if your a Type V you can run different widths?
