a few months back I snapped another set of 18s on the passenger side after driving through a big pothole (seemed like roadworks but wasnt signed up) currently im using my OEM 16s so its definitely time for an upgrade.
what i want to run... XXR 527 - Flat Silver 16x8.25 ET0 195/45/16 tyres since my rear arches have metal cancer at the moment and are rusting away i thought this would be a good opportunity to just cut them out and replace them with some universal fibreglass wide fenders. I also want to run some 25mm spacers and have some mad poke. my car is lowered 25/30ish mm and is on springs (will be getting some Megan Coilovers soon too) what i want to know is: 1. will i be affected by a lot of camber if i space the wheel out that much and how can i counter it? 2. what size fenders should i go for? i dont want them to flare out way too much. maybe some 40mm? 3. is there anything in general that i should be aware of? 4. this is the kind of look i love and looking to work towards, any suggestions on how to get close to that? Pic 1 Pic 2 gotta love that unfinished primer look! p.s i would rather do this look without extended arches and just cut, roll and pull the crap out of originals but its not possible with the rust is it?

Rolling fenders with rust never works.
Why not just properly size the wheels, rather than using inch spacers? -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
