puffing out guards CAMBER

[George euro]

hey guys i have an accord euro lower on 20's my camber is -2.2 and that is with a camber kit it is meant to be 4.3 thats what it was before, anyhow im considering puffing out the rear a little to ruduce my camber so i dont have to worry about tyres, has any1 here done that yet? if so were how much ? ? i wanna find a way to stay low but reduce cambeR?

[akina]

-2.2 camber should be fine but ill make it -2 to be safe.
im running -1.5 at the rear myself.

also, do u mean rolling the guards? so u dont rub?
if so, many places do it. shop around to get the best price

[George euro]

[George euro]

[TEMPTN]

Having the back flared does nothing about the camber
to get ur u camber fix u need to change all the arms etc

Mate been low u gotta live with camber unless u have $$$$$$$ to have the correct set up

[George euro]

As others have said,don't do it.

[George euro]

As others have said,don't do it.
why not ??

[tony1234]

why not ??
i replied to your PM George.

[koray]

George, i'm with you.. i'm getting mine flared out (just a bit) as well.. mine is lowered 3" back and 2.5" front.Meanwhile, i don't even have a camber kit.. mine still runs -4..

I have a friend who is running second hand Pirelli rubber at the rear (he has coilovers set at 5.5" lowered at the rear).. reason being that when these tyres get old, they get hard and wear heaps less.. he was going through tyres every 3 weeks until he got these. it's been about 6 months and he still has about 30%.

[felixd]

lol riced up euro, mine is a lebbo euro

haha i like that
u doing a really great job on ur car :)

wad suspensions u running is it just lowered springs ???

[Bigpauly2788]

George i know what you are talking about i just purchased 20s for my euro with 225/35 tyres so its going to be a close call when i put them on to see if i need to roll guards or flare them out a little. i could just put 225/30 tyres on but i think they are just too thin and il feel all the bumps in the road and with 225/30 pot holes mean big trouble.

What size are your tyres on your 20s George ?

If they are 225/30 can you take a photo for me bro...

[Bigpauly2788]

Koray could you post a big picture of your car bro i think you have the same rims as me man and the same color euro LOL.

Looks fkn sweet bro i cant wait to get my rims fitted! :D:D

[koray]

Pauly, mine are Lenso Granzo's. i'm running 225/35 and it's all good.. my mate is running 225/30's and he chips his rim every time he changes lanes and hits a bump at the same time.
I've just got Kmac springs, cos everyone else said 3" couldn't be done without coilovers.. Kmac just made them for me.

Thanx for the nice words man.. be sure you're on the cruise 27/9 to the Blue mountains, we can compare lol..
I'll try and get some pics of mine and my mates by Saturday, have to take saome first!.. he's getting a comp system installed at the moment, 5" lowered (coilovers)at the back with Kspeed Biaggi's on his..

George, awesome lookin car from the looks of your avatar man.. be sure to be on the cruise too..

[TEMPTN]

finally more pplz putting 20s on euros and dumping them

this is wat 225 / 30 looks like on my car
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s92/TEMPTN-/temptn028.jpg

[koray]

yeah true.. i never saw them till now

[Bigpauly2788]

Nice bro thanks for the reply.

The rims im getting are different but look similar from a distance :)

Yea il prolly get the 35s aye cause chipping these rims on bumps will shit me off, i mean im getting them customised cause the bolt pattern is slightly off, cost me a lot.

the only thing is the rims are 20x8.5 so hopefully they will fit without having to flare the guards aye.

ive lowered my car 1.5" at the rear and 2" at the front, so it evens out.

il put a pic of my car as me avatar once i get the rims put on :)

Cheers for the photo TEMPTN its helped me out a lot, looks hot man but il go with the 225/35.

pauly.

[koray]

Temptin...That is INSANE!! My mate is in comp with you i think.. His car is getting done by Northwest customs (SXEURO plates).

Pauly, I had mine shipped from Benalla auto centre in Vic. If you haven't bought yours already, give him a call and have a chat...

http://www.benallauto.com.au/

My rims had to be re-PCD'd cos the rims were originally for a commodore (a bee's dick of difference). Gary for Benalla really looked after me. He charged $2200 for rims & tyres, shipping to Melb and back for PCD, PCD costs, and shipping to Sydney.. He's a deadset champion and I'd recommend him to anyone.. After my experience with Tempe and Ozzy, I nearly didn't get rims at all

[koray]

Hey Temptn, where do you get your tyres walled??

[Bigpauly2788]

Ive already ordered my rims and its all being sorted out they should arrive on Monday by the latest.

Umm im just thinking will 8.5 width fit without having to flare the guards out?

What is the width of your 20s Koray?

and if you could hook us up with someone who does flaring of guards in Sydney id appreciate that bro, just incase it comes down to me having to flare the guards out to fit these bad boys on :)

Cheers bro
pauly

[koray]

Mine are 8" wide i think.. 225's look like they're dtreched on the rim. I'm still trying to find a guy to pump guards, my mechanic has a guy in Blacktown that rolls guards for around 40 a corner. Also, Northwest Customs does it for around that price too..

http://www.northwestcustoms.com.au

Check out some of his work.. My mates Euro will hopefully be on there soon

what is it CU2 dumped on its ass on 22" ??? rofl :thumbsup:

[koray]

Just 20's at the moment..
I wouldn't mind going 22's if i could fit them.. but I'd probably have to Tub my car!!!!!
As it is, I'm thinking about taking out the Plastic inner guards, just need to figure out if i can spray some sort of liner in there instead, to give me that extra room I need and make sure water doesn't go where it ain't supposed to

[Crapdaz]

the front inner wheel guard plastic; if you remove it you need to cut it off cause it's attached to the bottom splash guard.

DO IT TUB YOUR CAR!!!

[koray]

Dude, I was joking... It's still a daily.. If i was to tub it, then fk 22's...24" all the way, Suicide doors on the back and the boot opening in reverse.. not to mention i'd attempt to do a panoramic glass roof like an AMG.. But that's only a wish list right now..

Damn, I was trying to avoid cutting anything, in case I had to put it back to standard.. Thanks for the heads up though

[Crapdaz]

screw your boot, automated hydraulic arm for your bonnet.

so you can awww the cops when they do an inspection.

yeh the only reason i knew it's connected and isn't separate cause i drained the coolant and ripped my manifold out to add in two IM gaskets.

koray take some piccies of your car want to see your camber'd rear.

[koray]

HAHAHA... I think they'd just defect me.. as it is my tints are that dark, I feel like i'm driving the batcave to work..
Yeah I'll take some pic's this w/end... the back looks like a V8 supercar camber, I'm told

[TEMPTN]

what is it CU2 dumped on its ass on 22" ??? rofl :thumbsup:


nah sumthing bigger 300c dumped on 24s or 26 if i can fit it in

22s do fit, but u wont be able to deck it to the floor thats y i got rid of mine
u need to mini tub it

[koray]

Hey Pauly, I've got a few mates asking around for Guard pumping.. I'll get back to you soon..

Temptn.. Man I like ur style.. I'd love to mini tub

[Bigpauly2788]

Cheers bro il see how i go on friday or monday when i go to pick them up hopefully they will fit...:S

[koray]

Getting my guards rolled and taking out inners this weekend.. I found this stuff to spray into my wheel arches to compensate for no plastic, it costs about 7 dollars per can and i only need max two cans..I'll let you guys know if this fixes the problem... and i'll definitely take some pics of my camber for you Crapdaz!! :p

[koray]

hope you guys like it!! still have to roll the guards.. and take out the inners..

[d0p3y]

Damn, your tyre bill must be nasty.

[koray]

i thought it would have been too.. i've had them on for 1500 kms and no wear yet.. the only thing is that i got a bolt in my rear tyre last night.. fixed now, but thats it

[Crapdaz]

lol massive!!!

[Bigpauly2788]

Koray bro thats awsome dude :D

How low is your car front and back man?

Son what is the profile of those tyres?

Looks awsome bro what is the percent % of your tints man that will be the next thing i do and im think 20% or 20% (back) & 35% (fronts) ? ?

[koray]

thanks man. mine is 2.5 front and 3 back with 35 profiles and 5% tints.. i might tint the front with 50% as well just to rid of sun glare.

[George euro]

hey guys sorry i started this forum and dissappeared lol what a bastard i havent been on for a while, found a few new people here i like i like , so u guys are interested in flaring your cars too, do u know were i can get it done for a good price just the rear a little bit? and btw koray very very nice euro i love the rims to sits really good, and the guy asking about my suspension set up its fully adjustable coilover suspension with 20 inch k speed rims, 225 35 rubber, pedders camber kit, and guards rolled thats my set up :)

[George euro]

Man that is PHAT!!! love ur rims.. are they the K-speed Biaggi? That looks hot azz, can't get over how neat it is!!

[George euro]

hey bro yeah they are k speed biagge ill be honest i love them but i was actually looking at work car and trying to think if i would have rathered them rims their both so good i dunno what would look better ayee,, ur car looks so good too i think those rims on urs make it seem more dumped the way they curve in

[George euro]

oh and koray i look at what u said earlier about rolling guards and taking out the inners, mine sits pretty low at the front i didnt have to do much with the back just get ur guards rolled im going a few inches lower soon and it still wont rubthe bak is sweet and with the fron i dont recommend taking out the inners all u ahve to do this is what i dont, if u put ur hand under the front guard u will feel these metal brakets their is about 3 or 4 of them holding the platic for the guard
push the plastic on the other side of it, and get a heat gun and push thos metal brakets in as far into the guard as u can,, u will understand wen u see it, if ur not confident in doin that get a pannel beater to do it but that way ur plastic will sit under the metal braket and get tuket it a bit more n it shouldnt rub if that is an issue because mine is now sitting lower that ur pics at the front n that fixed my rubbing issue i at, not that it doesnt rub at the front once every now and again buts its only plastic touching

[George euro]

the pics i posted are my old height btw ill get a new pic of how the front sits soon

[.QD]

what's the two black round things on your front bumper? parking sensor?

if only they made those biagi's in 19's and deep dish, i would get it, only one i know of is the real one.

[George euro]

oh god those rims are hot!! are they the new ones?? and the two black dots where special hols for the euro plste wen i took it off my plate wouldnt cover it it was too small lol but u have sensors but thats only at the rear

[.QD]

Nah m8, thats the real deal. It's who Kspeed and BBOSS and so on copy. :)

http://www.cosmic-inc.com/product/index.html

[koray]

how much are the real ones tho?? i bet around 4k for the set..

[George euro]

lol real fake who cares :) they still look the same but fair enough ehehe how much did u pay for ur 20s? koray?? and yh wat r they worth QD.

[George euro]

DAMNNNNNNNN IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO CHANGE MY RIMS I WOULD PUT THEM!!! ANYDAY ! www.cosmic-inc.com/product/venerdi/hereborrani/cl_215/index.html

[TEMPTN]

Still needs to be lower , have your rims tucking

[George euro]

those pictures i uploaded r old :) the front is as long as i can go now because wen i turn full lock the actual tyre is on the guard so if i wanna go lower gotta puff it and the bak is getting dumped soon just havent had time to adjust my coilovers yet

[Bigpauly2788]

TEMPTN did you win anything at auto salon ?

[koray]

lol real fake who cares :) they still look the same but fair enough ehehe how much did u pay for ur 20s? koray?? and yh wat r they worth QD.

I paid 2200 for wheels n tyres.. that included freight to and from the engineers to get re PCD'd and freight from Vic to NSW.. The tyres i got are apparently hard compound, that's why i can't see any wear yet.. V happy with that!!

[George euro]

ohh thats awsome i wanna get some on my next set then do u know wat they r worth

[koray]

man, i'd say that they'd be worth the 200-250 per tyre mark.. i think that AAA tyres in Guildford sells them.

These are the guys i got my rims from.. The price is 849 delivered for 4 tyres

[Bigpauly2788]

George bro where did you get your guards rolled i looks like its a clean job in te pictures ? :D

[George euro]

hey champ i didnt get them rolled they are cut neatly down the side, the reason being is it allowed them to cut a bit of the plastic for the rear bar so i can reduce my camber angle were as rolling them will curve the metal part in but not do anything about the platic, my mates mate done it lol i dont know who it is i can find out for u if u like..
George bro where did you get your guards rolled i looks like its a clean job in te pictures ? :D

[kitbkk]

But seriously though, how can a rim like Venerdi, which retails in Japan for AUD$500 a rim (excluding shipping and mark ups price of dealers here) in size 19"x8" be fake? No offense mate but it is a fact.

Dont argue man you dont know anything about wheels! :p B.BOSS is "real" because Bob Jane sells them. haha.

Ill stop now because this thread is about puffing out guards... Dont need to defend the realness of Cosmic wheels..... B.BOSS is so real that they call their wheels "B.BOSS Eleanor" and have "Hereborrani" on the spoke. :thumbdwn: and Cosmic actually calls their wheels "Venerdi Hereborrani" :thumbsup: hmmm... yup not hard to tell which one is the real deal.

[koray]

Who cares? The rims all look the same and adhere to manufacturing standards..

Imo, if you spend more than 500 bucks per rim for something that looks the same as a copy that is cheaper (not nescessarily inferior)... either you're fkn dumb, have way too much money or both. But that's just my opinion.

Oh sorry man, i didnt want to be 'fkn dumb' when i ordered Work Wheels. So does that mean that the Euro owners on here that have genuine JDM wheels on here are 'fkn dumb' because they wanted quality light-weight wheels?
Also because they aren't as common as them rimz they call 'Every Commodore in Australia has these rims'. But nawwww, lets all go to Bob-Jane Tbag for some awesome 4DLULZ rimz brreewwww.


Phwoaaa, nice rimz there Kit, did you get them rims from liek Bob-Jane Tbag? leik FoReaLz?

If you read my original post... This is my opinion only.. I didn't decide to buy genuine rims, because, living in Sydney with the state of the roads here..
a) i can't afford genuine rims. in the first place.
b) even if i could, i don't want to run the risk of smashing a 1000 dollar rim in a pothole..

To me, i can't see the advantage of buying genuine when mine look almost identical and i'm happy with them.. sorry if MY OPINION offended you
again, this is my opinion only.. everyone is entitled to one, even me

[George euro]

b) even if i could, i don't want to run the risk of smashing a 1000 dollar rim in a pothole..

To me, i can't see the advantage of buying genuine when mine look almost identical and i'm happy with them.. sorry if MY OPINION offended you
again, this is my opinion only.. everyone is entitled to one, even me

well next time express "YOUR OPINION" in a more "NUETRAL" manner

instead of calling any1 who spends more than $500 a wheel fkn dumb


Who cares? The rims all look the same and adhere to manufacturing standards..

Imo, if you spend more than 500 bucks per rim for something that looks the same as a copy that is cheaper (not nescessarily inferior)... either you're fkn dumb, have way too much money or both. But that's just my opinion.

ive always thought any1 that buys fake wheels is ......................, but yeh, i dont say it

the point is, its not just about looks, its about the material used, the forging methods, the heat treatments all these things add up to make a superior wheel

u want to talk about sydenys shit roads causing damage to wheels, thats y u wouldnt buy genuine???

well, have u ever considered the possibility of wat will happen to fake wheels made of low quality material and prepared, fabricated and heat treated in the rong way when they go over a pot hole?

they could fall apart, a massive crack could go straight through them and shatter the whole wheel, who knows

but there is definetley less, MUCH less chance of this happening with a genuine jdm wheel, as they are much much higher quality....imo, the worst that can happen, is a minor dent that can be fixed

not only are they tougher and stronger, but they are also quite a bit lighter than the copy, making ur car feel less like a truck than it would with 15kgs a piece copys...

anyway, again, u dont have to listen to wat i say, i couldnt care less, ur giving ur opinion, and im giving and justifying mine

Nice reply Waz :)

Nawww, tis aight breww, sorry for being 'fkn dumb' and getting genuine rims, but dw like i said ima sell my Works when they come and get some rimz down at bob-jane tbag, then i can be like super cool smart. Got good deal today, $2000 for some 'Every Commodore in Australia has these rims' wheels and it comes with tyres, probably some ling longs ( like 10 bucks each ) and lock nuts......tis like win spec.
Should be sweet man, if im really lucky i can get some of this happening just driving to the newsagents.....LMFAO.

[SiReal]

far out guys. play nice.

Once again its all about priorities and where you position your money and values. We just have to be careful not to offend or impose our values on other people.

BACK ON TOPIC!! :)

[George euro]

hehe i dont mind, its just funny, personally every1 is entitled to their own opinions,

[Bigpauly2788]

Guys it doesnt look lowered because i was crouched on the ground when i took the photo, i guess it doesnt look lowered to you guys because your used to seing euros slammed on their asses and guards swallowing rims when someone mentions the term "lowered".

But yes it is still rather high, that is why i am going to purchase coilovers, so i can lower the car to my liking and also improve the cars handling, etc :)

Once the rims are fitted the gaps above the wheels should be filled seing how they are 20s :)

True.If you want looks go for 19-20s,if you want handling stick with 17s.

[Bigpauly2788]

Well i know that guys LOL but even with 20s coilovers will be better than king springs.

And what im after is looks guys im not planing to go racing around a track with my car LOL.

And if your about to say "if your after looks why get coilovers?"

The answer is because i like having good quality things and i enjoy spending money on things that i enjoy and things that keep me happy :D

and if ya dont like it... boo hoo :)

reason for getting coilovers - getting adjustable ride height and dampening capabilities, more flexibility and function with coilies.

But some spring/shock combo has dampening changes but noot ride height.

But comparing your sacrificing comfort between the two.

Just my 2c.

All gud bro :)

[George euro]

All gud bro :)

if u want good coilovers make sure u get some that u can adjust lower but still have full suspension travel like k sport coilovers, its coilovers that u dont adjust by the spring perch which will make it stiff but the lowering mount so if u 4 inches low or standard its basically the same

[Bigpauly2788]

yea im not buying generic ones bro, im going with some Teins :)

Hight adjustable and dampening adjustable.
