New rims and im up set (please read full story lol)
i was thinking it cant be the steering rods even though its a standard one, cause its set at its original state. so it has to be something else either the chassis the suspension or the wheel hub again. Gonna take both wheels of tomorrow and match them up,take more photo's and make a video tomorrow and post it up on you tube so you guys can have a look, maybe you can see things i cant. also got a guy to come have a it as well. thanks mates

New rims and im up set (please read full story lol)
Wat im trying to find out, is the adjustable tension rods at lowest setting same size as the originals? Can this be the reason why it's sitting too far back?

New rims and im up set (please read full story lol)
Hi mate's Im pissed and kinda happy at the same time, got my wheels last week delivered from drift works ,called them a bunch of times asking about fitment. they said et 30 was ok for my car but i guess there wrong. i put them on to day with sum budget tyres for the mean while "SUNNY 255/35/18 FRONT AND 265/35/18 BACK" WAS LOOKING COOL! heres a pic! i went round the corner and i hear a grinding noise, im saying wat the **** was that !!! its the wheel grinding on the caliper lol so im like ffs new ****ing wheels lol ("THANK GOD IT WAS IN THE INSIDE") So i go and get 5mm spacers for the front(for an offset of et25 now!) it now looks like this lol i go around the corner again guess what a 3rd problem, wheel was hitting the arch/fender. The tyre guy says, due to the car was in a previous accident the tension arm was change since then, but the tyre guy is saying that due to the tension rods are diffrent one is adjustable(drivers side) and one is standard(passenger), that's the problem for the passenger wheel is sitting and inch too far back. is this correct?

Autostrada 17" alloys
Hi Peeps I have THREE of these alloys with brand new falken tyres for which i think are super rare, but dont know how to sell them with or with out tyres single or all togeather how much fo you think they would sell for? (spend £400 on the tyres, i think they will go for 200 now i think!)

lowered Measurements
well the offset is going to be +20 and yess they are too narrow i was advised 245 to 265
-
lowered Measurements
The reason why is im still thinking about the 18" 9.5 j alloys im getting for it ,plus the tyres which i was thinking 235 40 18 at front 245 40 18 at back is it gonna be a tight fit , or am i gonna have to get the arches rolled any way?
-
lowered Measurements
So wait a minute i swear an average is a 30 cm drop but i got a n 20-25 lol? hmmmmm you guys sure ?
-

I have used it gonna go for the same setting as murmur +20, dont want the wheel wearing unevenly the thing is i dont think that calculator compensates for deep concave-ness.

Alloy width
Is murmur gonna post more pics? :(
-
Alloy width
I just double checked..... your right they do come in a wider width of 10" on an 18 in wheel for the (GRID DRIFT).....but for the ones im after.. staying with the concaved look the widest in 18"'s you can only have 9.5.... the ones you posted up are the gtr'D's which are deep dish with a Flat face.(diffrent) If I'm right...thanks though!!

Thanks for answering the questions , the reason for asking them was is because , the ones i want are similar just 5 instead of you 6 spoke and are black like in the 1st post. You said you have offset et20 but i should be able to do 30 all round. Plus you would of got wider alloys if you knew, but i think they dont come in any thing wider than 9.5 unless you get them custom made which costs a bomb. any way thanks peeps. p.s oh murmur just waiting on rest of those pics if you don't mind....thanks..lol
