Another "How to fit these wheels" thread..

[RaGz]

u can make them fit, just gotta play with camber and guard work until u find the right balance.

[zhong]

So when people say "it fits" do they assume:

- Stock Camber
- Stock Height
- Stock Guards
- Stock Tab Locations

Im running about -2.8 camber on my rears with stockies (don't ask me why....) and my tabs definately have been relocated.. When I calculate it based on the stockies, they should fit/run fine... I'm only really worried about the fronts, don't want no guard ripping action but I guess I'll just slip them on and see how it looks.. Can always ride high until I can afford new fenders or a bigger roll I guess. Will post pics, pending funds.

[vyets]

are your fronts rolled? FLAT?

[zhong]

I don't think so, I think I still have the "flat faced" lip bit.... Is it a big no no?

The fender's lip is tucked backwards, and my splash guards don't go up there anymore, so I assume that it's been done before.. Same with the rears. How can I tell if it's been rolled? Is there some sort of measurement I can measure to check?

[vyets]

as long as the fold is flat you'll be fine if not you will pull out your fenders.
What? you can't mesure it just feel if the guard has been rolled? lol

[zhong]

Lol, yeah it's flat.... I thought "ROLLED" meant making the stock arch wider.... and "LIPPED" meant flipping that flat bit... lol I'm such a noob...

Hope that's the case anyway! Cheers!

BTW. Does Vu still do rolling/flaring etc? Just incase... :P

Sorry to revive the thread, but it seems the mrs wants to buy me some rims.. LOL

SSR SP1
17x8.5 +37
17x9.5 +43

Yay or Nay? My guards already been tab-tucked so it seems, and I'm suspicious at them being rolled slightly.. I wanted chrome finish, but it seems I can only afford black w/polish lips...

im running x9 +30, x9.5 +38 with -3 camber all round.
so the specs u put up looks like they will fit easily.

mind u im running stretched tires all round as well lol.

from my deduction, approx 15mm will require at least -1.3* camber, so if anything camber will fix it alll =)

yea he does.

also depends on what size tyre your running you might get away with it even without rolling.

However it's always recommended the fronts to be rolled because even with stock rims you can mangle your guards once lowered.

lol should see wat im running 17 x 8 +30 fronts, 17 x 9 +28 rears -1 fronts -2 rears!!! and its slammed hard! need to go get more camber in the rears though cause its sticks out just a tiny bit
