Yeah I don't mind the lettering, but they're just stickers so I can take them off if I get sick of it

[Jimmy S]

Nice work... definitely need to get it lowered, should be fine once the guards are rolled!

I reckon you ought to be able to get that lip to fit as well!... will look the bomb if you can!

Thanks guys. And I dunno about the lip... would really need a LOT of modification to get it fitted...

Yep, remove stickers = win.

Whats the offset on these? They sit out a little.

Ah i remember that sound before i chucked a Cannon on the ass end of mine , Love the wheels id also piss them stickers off but as you said its Your car, I was thinking of doing the same thing with my Grill it doesnt look that bad but i think i might go buy an 02+ Grill as it has the honey comb effect to it.

Still looks good mate

Im still on the fence about the stickers. Ill probably leave them for a little while longer. The offset is 45 hence why it sticks out a little. I plan on lowering it hopefully soon so guards will be rolled and itll all be good

[loserpro2]

replace the stickers with volks stickers so people will think you have Volks TE37 rims. you will reach baller status.

nice car btw, the rims really match it.

Thanks guys.

The LEDs were purchased by my brother so ill have to find out who he got them off. Theyre pretty cheap quality and break easy, so it was lucky he bought 2. As for the grill yeah it looked 100 times better without the chrome stripping, and I can always replace the badge at a later date if i get over the tinting!

Wheels wise I have a set of these in 18x7.5 on order:



I think itll go well if they ever arrive. The place im getting them from aren't really helpful any time I ask whats going on with them!

Still trying to find a good tire in 225/35/18... it seems its a very uncommon size!

I run 225/40/18's on my B4

cars looking good also

shieet....sorry bro...

i mean yeh...we should catch up with all the melbournians...IGNORE my 'work at coles bit' LOL

[JimmyH]

Haha all good. I work NEAR a coles so ill let it slide haha. And yeah should do another meetup. I still dont know too many people from here so it would be good to meet everyone again.

But only after ive sorted out the massive problem im having with my wheels at the moment that is actually making me hate my car. Its not good.

You mentioned you had the wheels installed.

what happen now? structure of the car or the wheels themselves causing problems?

[JimmyH]

Long story short, my wheels were rubbing, so i had the guards rolled and that solved that, but now if I go over big dips the back wheels are hitting on the bumper mount inside the wheel well gouging out big lines of rubber from the tire. I researched +45 offset wheels to make sure id have no problems with them before buying and everyone that had them said it was fine once the guards were rolled. Im really out of ideas because moving the bumper mounts seems impossible. My brother mentioned I could maybe get stops installed so that the wheel travel stops before it hits the bumper mount but im not too sure how that works.
