    What size semi slick on a 15x8" +36 6uL wheel on an em1?

    Ok so I'm thinking of getting a wider set of wheels for track. but not sure which brands will make the tire size that will suit.

    I'm thinking of maybe running a 225 up front and a 205 or 215 out back. I really like the Dunlop 03g's but the size I am after is not on their website...(I am currently using a 195 all round with a 7" wheel with plenty of clearance)

    Anyone have any advice from previous experience? or know if this setup will fit/work?

    Thanks for any help anyone can give, I want more grip!!

    for the rear, if u want to run 15x8 you need a 3mm spacer. with a 225 semi, if you want to dump the car you need to roll the guard and even flare it a bit
    fronts should be ok just depends on how low you want to go. i recommend rolling the front guards if ure going to run a 225.

    im using t1r 225/50 atm and had to roll and flare so sit the car nice and low
    HORSEPOWER is how hard you hit the wall.
    TORQUE is how far you go through it!

    im using 16x7 with 215/45/16 ku36 . they hang over a little so i'd recommend using 215 for by 8's it will sit flush. not sure if they make it in the 15 inch though. but ku36s are sweet for street use and the occasional track.

    Ok I think i will run a 225 up front and a 205 out back. should be sweet for fitment. gaurds are already rolled and stretched ghetto DIY style so scrubbing, hopefully shouldn't be a problem. Will be for TRACK ONLY. My car is low but not like crazy low so that should be fine as well. Thanks for the advice guys

    then put a pair of 15x8 with 225/50 at front

    Well I am currently running a 7" wheel with 205 all round. But i'm keen for a new look and some new rubber so a nice new set of 6UL's in 8" with a 225's and 205's sounds good to me. My current tyres still have a good 2 track days in them easy, possibly 3 but I 'want' a new look haha

    Thick metal bar with electrical tape wrapped around it (attempt to save the paint) get one person to hold it inside the guard between the tyre. Then another person to drive the car slowly forward and back while the person holding the bar slides it in the gap. The bar then flares out the guard a bit as well as rolling the lip up as well.

    Mind you, this pretty much fcked my paint right up and the guards are not exactly smooth anymore haha so if your worried about that then i wouldn't recommend this method

    When i can be bothered spending heaps of money, i'll get a re-spray and some minor panel work done and it will be sweet...

    so its like rolling guards, but also trying to make them protrude more?
    extreme guard rolling? lol

    would it be possible to stretch it with a guard roller or not likely?

    what is it called again when the fender lip is bent outwards to get more coverage instead of tucking it in?
