    Hey everyone. Well I bought a set of wheels a few weeks ago and they look bling as. They are drift R's with an offset of +25. So the fronts fit almost perfect, but the rears stick out a little from the guards. I was thinking about just getting the inside "shaved" so that the offset would change and hence wouldn't pretrude out as far. Well I have had a bit more of a think about that approach and after a chat to a friendly engineering firm, I don't think that it'll be possible as it will make the bolt holes to weak. So the next step would be to widen the guards a little...:D I don't really want to, but I'll be repraying a few things in the next week, so thought it might be feasible. Its all in the name of keeping the car legal..:rolleyes: Any ideas? might just sell them and get a different set..
    Cheers,
    Michael.

    A friend of mine had his...

    wheel arches 'rolled' so he could fit new rims on a datto. He said it was easy and cheap, wouldn't have even noticed if he didn't tell me but it looked better if anything.

    I'd be

    selling them! I think its a bit Irish modifying the car to suite the rims. Sorry but that?s what I?d do.

    Yeah, but yours are 19s and I got 18s, might be some difference there. Yeah I think I might just sell them, but we'll see how it pans out. Thanks guys

    Just because it's the same wheels doesn't mean that they will have the same offset. :p

    Heres a pic of how much they stick out. The front looks awesome, but the back I think it probably enough for the cops to notice...:eek:

    Can't tell from your pics......

    because the car is jacked up. A pic with the car on the ground would be better.

    I would sell the rims and get some that fit because +25 on the rear is always going to be a problem (unless they are 7.5"). Also, when you get rims that fit don't use undersized tyres :rolleyes: they belong on a Honda Accord NOT a zed

    yeah I bought them from Loz, he's the guy that owns nissansilvia.com. The tyres are like that cause they were used for a drift comp. I'll try and get some better pics up soon.
