Mate so am I !! Trust me..

Was abit dubious and nervous fitting them . But I can assure you they dont. Ive had it fully loaded, 5 adults and luggage and no scrubbing at all.

The guy who set them up for me is an ex employee of Tony Simmons. he was his assembler and painter. Was with him for 7 years leading up to the end of trade. Hes set up shop in Sydney, modifying an painting Simmons wheels. Nice guy and extremely knowledgeable with there wheels. PM me if you want any details.

Yeah I must admit.. it does look good. You know youve hit the nail on the head when SS guys give you the thumbs up !! lol

what did you do to fit the fronts?

im thinking of going 9.5 + 12

so that should sit about the same by my calculations.

im guessing rolled guards, anything else?

rolled guards and camber. I was able to run it with just the shim kit provided with the teins, but now I have the adjustable camber arms :)

the 9.5 +12 (compared to the 10 +10) is 4mm closer to the upright, and 8mm more inside the guard

Not quite sure mate.. I think Tocchi can figure it out. We just kept going wider by "eye".. real professional ay !! lol

Ive dishd inwards to approx 10mm of the front suspension arm and rear trailing arm. The outside lip of the rear rim clears the guard lip by about 2mm on full compression. The 275' fit well with alittle bit of stretch over the rim. Its full back there with minimal fuss. Oh and these arent Tempe specials... the real deal. Big difference in quality.

Runnung Koni reds all round. Cant fault them with a smoother that stock ride quality.

Mate the rears clear the 4 spots by about 5mm... and Ive had to use a 5mm spacer on the 6 spot fronts which Im not fussed about. Just adds to the overall front track width.

Do your front wheels clear? Ive been meaning to ask you ???

what were they before? and did you just extend the outer shell?

oh ok, ive got 2 to 3mm clearance up front, and about 10mm on the rear -- hell pisses me off ... I want the same clearance on the rear (2 to 3mm).

Okay mr smarty britches... :) if you where to run a spacer do you have a preferred brand? Did you need to get the offset adjusted or where you able to mix and match your centres and bands to get it as is?

Hey Luke can you get Axis hiro in a 10 inch x19 about +42. Todd just got a set and they are 19 x 9.5 +40. I have a set of 3mm and 8mm spacers if you want to try them. I got mine from ozzy tyres . $10 bucks each

Thanks Arron, i think it would be a real struggle to get a 10" Hiro on the rear of a b series sedan unless you went to a stretched 265/275. i'l take some measurement and see what I need. I really only want to move my fronts out so they are 2-3mm off the guard like my rears

Todd is running 20 x 10 +42 with 275 on the rear of his N/A, I rolled the guards and it fits perfect no rubbing. A 19 would fit even easier.. A 275 tyre fits nicer on a 10 than a 9.5

to be honest, I think all brands are the same, I'd hit up JPC for some of the jap brands, they are good. I think a pair of 5mm spacers arent too pricey at all :)

I only increased my outer bands, inners remained the same at 7" and 7.5" respectively, front to rear, id love to reduce my centre but I dont think that's possible :(

if you want grip etc, imo, better to have a skinner rim and tyre that fits, rather than a wider rim with a stretched tyre on it. :)
