They are 7.5, think +43 aswell, need to check.

Since exams are now over, I had run out of excuses to be lazy and started getting some work done.

My tyres on today, and gave the rears a shot, still waiting on 5mm spacers for the front, believe it or not Grids don't clear brembos.



Rears sit fine, car does sit a bit high, but it's looking the goods so far.

Legally, does just the top of the tyre need to sit inside the guard, or the top of the wheel? New to this hellaflush business.

Pulled out coilies, got rear arms ready to go in, just need a C spanner (can you buy them from Super Cheap Auto?) and getting guards rolled on Saturday. Then all I need is to dump it, flare the guards and get a wheel alignment.

Who's rolling your guards?

I did $120 for 2 guards. Took an hour. I paid him $140 though as he did a good job.

You can buy a generic C Spanner from Wilkinsons, I would seriously doubt that Supercheap would have them. I'm sure other suspension shops would have them but being in Kalamunda everything would be a drive for you, and having bought a pair from wilkos myself I know for sure you can get them. Otherwise a rubber mallet and a big flat head screw driver can get you out of trouble if they are brand new as the collars should move fairly easily. its a sure fire way to fuck them though if you keep doing it

Family friend is a panel beater and is doing all 4 corners for 2 cartons Rich.

Cheers Jester, will give them a call tomorrow, Wilkinsons isn't that bad a drive.

Also, just noticed the tag "dbldose of stupidity". Made me chuckle.

^^ Incorrect. Looks much better slammed on it's hole spoiler-less... Especially with flush fitting wheels!

I agree... fat offset, dumped, with no wing looks WAY better than with wing.

Triple concur. Hoping to rip mine off this weekend. Just need to find some colour coded grommets, if they exist.

You still have yours on joe?
