^ I suppose you can do whatever with the fender liner, I never bothered with it since it never became a nuisance. You already know more than I do about the fender liner

I talked to a guy i know that owns a body shop and they have a industrial fender puller you drive the car onto. he says its for cars that were in accidents but he could pull it out real nice so im probly gonna do that in a couple months.

Looking to possibly put some 5mm spacers on the car just to push them out a bit and make it look a bit better. I don't have enough money for new wheels until I can get my R6 sold.

Whats the most agressive 16" wheel i could run? I'm on progress springs with 205/50/16 and would prefer not to roll the fenders
Also, how much work would it be to run a 16x8 +20?

Are you on stock setup right now? If you are rocking stock wheels, go take a ruler, add approx 3.2 inches to your stock wheel and see how much more you'll be sticking out. From there you can gauge if you need to roll fenders or maybe pull fenders if you're unlucky

Right now im on progress in just the front and im on work equip 16x7 +45.
BTW, are our rear hubs bigger than the front? I had an issue with a different set of wheels not wanting to fit on the back over the hub but the same rims would fit on the front.

different aftermarket companies for rims use different bore sizes so probably an issue with the rim your using i know my enkei are about 72.6 bore and they clear fine

lancerralli06 Aug 11, 2011 08:41 PM

but why would the same wheel fit on the front, but not the back?

burner67 Aug 11, 2011 09:15 PM

Omg 72.6? Yeah they clear but that's dangerous. U need hubcentric rings for those or you'll have problems eventually. U need 72.6 to 67.1 hub rings. Real cheap on ebay they are plastic. The wheels need to rest on the hub not the studs. As for front and rear maybe the rears had hub rings on them. It would really help with pics and testing the front wheels on the rears and rears on the front.

yeah i was looking at the ebay hub rings but i figured they be cheap and ****ty, any good? and there not resting on my lugs the rims and the lugs are conical fit so it still centers the rim properly in the end.

I've ordered a set of 17x7 +38 wheels and I'm planning on lowering the car with a set of coilovers in the next couple months so I'm wondering if I should go for 215/40 instead of 215/45 so that I won't have any rub issues?

Raikiri Aug 23, 2011 10:41 PM

I was thinking about picking up a 17x8.25 wheel with a +35 offset. Anyone know what kind of spacer I might need to get it to clear the suspension? I already know rolling the fenders is going to be needed and even possibly a slight pull.

How low is the question. Slam then 215/40. Mild/passive then 215/45. I dont know why you guys want 215/45 anyways... 215/40 is perfect width

You wont need a spacer. I ran 17x8 +43 fine before, no suspension rubbing. If you want more stance then grab a 3mm/5mm. Smallest you can find.

XXR Im guessing? :)

Yep. Xxr 527s

215/40/17 tiire good?
