Brake delete for fitmunt.

now that would definitely take form over function to another level lol

Brake delete for fitmunt.

= better wheel fitment, weight reduction, less is more = more scene cred.

Ben, are you really going to risk your safety (grinding brake components) over running a small spacer? and changing your final fitment?

I'm all for mad wheels and mad fitment, but there has got to be a bitof common sense still!

I agree 100% with keeping things safe, but am just wondering what is considered to be safe? Im certain if you could do it without heating them up too much you could atleast shave off a couple mm with no effect. Bolt on spacers might even be less safe then taking off a couple mm.

Check it on willtheyfit.com, unless I typed the numbers in wrong lol, they appear taller. But that was compared to my stock wheels.

I meant the amount of stretch angle would reduce the rolling diameter, since the tyre sidewall is no longer sitting vertically up like a normal tyre should haha.

im trying to avoid grinding brake components down since its a safety thing. imagine if that carrier snaps in half under heavy braking. id rather have abit of poke then risking a crash. but that website is cool makes things easier . all i need is a 10-12mm spacer and max out the camber and roll the guards and match the rear. also whats the max poke i should have so it doesnt look overexadurated ( however u spell it )

[rayray086]

Hakan, that's what we've been talking about in your thread since the very beginning, 9" wide ET15 is already plenty of poke for the front. It can look good with a ****load of stretch and with the sump a finger or two off the ground.

i've only seen excessive poke pulled off well by running smaller wheels, like 15's or even 14's......not sure... if it were me, for a start i'd find the amount of stretch I want, fit the rubber and then play with camber/fenders/spacers to fit them......

You mentioned a respray at some stage soon didnt you? id go with killz and get the rubber and sort that out and then even think about pulling the front guards out 5mm or so, that will help and definitely do that before any respray because paint can sometimes crack depending how much you pull the arch.

yea i want to get it resprayed after i sort out the wheels and arches . im getting the rubber hopefully end of this week .
my spacers should arrive next week.also i want to make spacers for the engine/gearbox mounts to sit it higher of the ground but that out of the topic . i hear people mentioning about some tyres not stretching well as others since they have harder sidewalls . i gota research on that .and the funny thing is that the legal height here in vic is 100mm . ive measure mine today and the lowest point is 50mm at the moment haha and still have to go lower when i fit the kerschers on .might need to go for a bash plate soon.
