It's come out really well in the photos, did the paint hold up ok? No cracking?

Yeah a little smaller on the front would be ideal but no biggie...

I was looking at some 18x8 and 18x9 hmmmm :mda:

There was a little cracking, luckily not severe because the pain was nice and hot, so it'll be an easy cover up, not even really where you can see it. Yeh that would look good with the right offset!

all I can say is good luck to people trying to fit 10" +15 flush in the front of a B series, but I got it to work :busted1:

this is still slightly on the jack, I didn't wana put full weight on wheels without nuts on them, waiting for skinny ones to arrive

rear (will come in 10mm as there aren't wheel nuts on it so its sitting out a bit)

I think I did alright for a first ever attempt at rolling let alone flaring!

*** note: I wouldn't go attempting this with nice metallic paint, I DID crack the paint very slightly, but because its a gloss white touch up paint will barely be noticeable without looking from like 10cm away. About half way through the flaring I started to get cracking, So I wouldn't suggest going any further than that if you intend to not crack your paint

Stanced as F*ck!!!

haha not quite yet josh but will be ;) I know theres gonna be a lot of hate about this look but at the end of the day if I wanted all out handling or performance I would get a light import. Im happy with a big boat that comfortably fits 5 big dudes, tows no dramas but still has balls to powerskid or overtake

that's a heap of guard work but pulled it off. Just dial in a bit of camber and you'll be fine! Iw ould flare the rear guards a bit to try make it look the same across the whole car and you can put a wider tyre on too then (if you can handle losing the stretch
