got these the other day...ignore the ebc box..actually dixcel hs rotors or atleast i think they are..can someone confirm? (not doubting the integrity of the seller or anything)..i believe they are 1 month/3-4k kms old?

no spacers, just a roll and pray it fits

hopefully!

im thinking it will fit with camber but will be just realllll CLOSE! FINGERS CROSSED!

[crashprash]

car delayed till tuesday ...planned on test fitting this weekend..grrr

[crashprash]

sorry, tis me plaything.... and the reason why i suggest spacers is, ur wheels are too close to the trailing arm / coilover.... so u put a spacer to mae it further away.

but u have wider and bigger wheels right? and lowered? i should be fine i think (fingers crossed)

no spacers for me thank you very much!

where is this thread you speak of? i did a search and could find any threads started by you

that'd just make it worse!

next week..get fitted/balanced/aligned (use camber kit if need be)...if it scrubs..swap stockies on, roll guards and then swap back..unless u guys think 100% i need to roll guards? then would roll guards and get the rest done.

no idea why it only hits on the right probably minute differences in ride height and camber make the difference. 7/10 should be ok, as for spacers i dont see why you would need them if your wheel clears the BBK fine. front has less clearance for suspension travel ie you will bottom out in the front before you bottom out in the back.

get it done!!!! as for rear guard roll you should be able to get away without it with >1.5 degrees and your ride height see how you go and get back to us

i say run a spacer adn camebr it, it'll clear it EASILY! and also give u a hto stance at the rear. Prash - look at my thread, you can see my front wheels hitting the coilover. i got pictures for better insight also!

lower ur bloody car!

that'd just make it worse!

my rear wheels hit the trailing arm on the right side only with the +35, the extra 3mm clearance i have shouldnt bother you though cause your car wont be as low as mine, at 1 finger i think you would need about 1.6 degrees on the rear and some decently stiff spring rates which is why my car is mega fail atm.

1 finger gap for frotn strut! didnt check rear...how come urs hits only on the right? my spring rates are 7/10 (monoflex)..do u get more clearance on front or rear?

i dont think you will have any clearance issues but it will be interesting to see how close it comes to the rear fenders, put up some pics when you get them test fitted man. when are you getting them done??

my dad took one wheel to the smash repairs and clears calipers by a couple of mm !!! (same as oem wheel)..1 finger gap to front strut and he said might be tight fit with the guards after tires put on..any advice?...didnt check rear

the whole spacers thing, i only run H&R for spacers, and all the issues u hear about spacers are from cheap brands etc.

[crashprash]

I think what dr k20z1 means is, why buy wheels with a "weak" fitment kinda. your wheels will fit fine, as if they just clear with the stock wheels being 7.5 +45. Your 9 +38 will clear fine. I Personalyl wuld have gone like 9 +30-35 offset and adjust the camber as you;ll be tracking the car in the near future right?

You can always purchase spacers in the future if need be anyways.

it was either 17x9 +28/+38..+28 wudve struggled to fit at rear and wouldve caused more wear/tear to hubs etc (but the concavity with that is hot :P)
stevan has 17x9 +35 and it clears everything so me being 3mm inside shudnt change that much but caliper clearance is my main worry

im pretty keen to see how these wheels will sit on your car ;p

im keenly awaiting my sapcers to come in hopefully tomorrow, as this week commingi s the last week for me to drive, so hoepfully I can have my spacers / brakes all installed

i really dont wanna run spacers..insurance/safety/hub damage etc...
