Nope, can't find anything at 1am besides a headache from lack of sleep and some sympathy for future-me who has to be at work at 8am (not so easy when I started at 9 today and finished at 10pm)

Try being on work cover for a month and having to wake up at 11am, because the sun is too bright

There are these things called curtains, you should try then sometime.

After two weeks of waiting because of a stock issue, the wheel nuts finally arrived from Cartel. Obviously, there is still a stock issue, because instead of the regular nuts I seem to have ended up with the extended versions instead. I kinda would've preferred the regular as it has the closed top, but aesthetics aside it doesn't matter as long as they fit the bolts! And the extended nuts are $30 more expensive.

Free upgrades?

Anyway, someone at Cartel thought up amusing packaging accompaniments.

Mm, silvery wheels.

Rims were $1150 delivered from Autotechnik Tuning via eBay (that was a special though, saved $100 I think?)

17x9 +22. At the moment going to run either a 235/40, 235/45, or a 225/45, leaning towards the latter. Will likely only be getting them fitted once the damage is fixed though, another 1-2 weeks depending on when the bar and lights arrive and when the shop can do it.

That black picks up the Enkei logo too. Looking good!

Farrrk didnt know they werr that wide. Going to use spacers? Bolt on or slip on? I've gotta fit mine soon aswell, only 8" wide but I'm running big tyres so we are probably gonna have similar issues, if any...

Na his issue is too much offset only stick out of guards by couple inches will be a flare job

So with wider rims and a 35 offset I won't have any issues?

Post by **vipfto** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 7:44 pm

Depends how wide. 8 is ample with low thirty offset 9 is just too wide could run 8.5 with high twenty offset but eight is bout spot on easy and more tyre options and just no need for super wide tyres remember only a 205 from factory

No spacers, didn't really want to spend money on them anyway.

I wonder if the guy I'm going to get to roll my guards can also pump/flare them out..

Probably going to have to get flares made up and attached, more expenses..

Post by **vipfto** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:13 pm

Yeah reckon so rolling wont help much issue is how far out of track they are

destinationtoby · Post by **destinationtoby** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:19 pm

Really? I thought you'd be able to roll them out a fair way, enough to fit anyway.
Do the flares just pop rivet on or what? Won't it look abit weird ? Seen them on Silvia's, not to sure what to think of it :/

Post by **vipfto** » Tue Jul 30, 2013 8:34 pm

Na they can be screwed on inside and blended in rolling may help rubbing but wont flare them out
