Here are some reference pics for the fronts and rears. In these pics fronts are 17x8 +15 and rears are still 17x8 +35 till i get them rolled. Guards are stock and not rolled yet. Well not till 30 minutes from now

Fronts




What happens when you run on with stock guards, lowered ride height and 8" with +15 offset. The tyres get sliced...


And this is a reference pic of -2.8 camber 8" wide +35 with stock guards. On bumps the guard lip rides against the wall of the tyre.

wow thats amazing

[whatthe]

Okay the guard rolling guy said he could only roll the rears ones as the front ones had nothing to roll in. I trusted what he said as this was his profession and everyone speaks highly on his work.
And for reference this is 17x8 +15 all round. Roughly -2.8 camber at back and =1.5 at front. I hope this inspires more people down the "flush look" road

So only the rears were rolled. Here are the pics




My bruised fender


Since nothing could be done with the fronts, i raised them back up 1cm until i get lower profile tyres and if that doesnt work more neg camber?




And also a couple days a got some fine sandpaper and cleaned the hell out of my zorst

Oh man, those wheels look nice. I plan on doing that soon... need spacers though. I just love the car/wheel color combo. Question though, did the guy that did your fenders have to screw around with the liner, or was it just roll and done?

[whatthe]

What is the liner?

[HectortheRican]

What is the liner?

The plastic lining on the inside of the wheel well. I'm wondering if it had to be cut or anything.

[whatthe]

The rears dont have the plastic lining, only the fronts. And the fronts didnt/couldnt get rolled.

Ohh I see. Well thanks!

I think it looks really good Rico. Its not over the top or extreme 'hella flush', not a fan of that look.

It's clean, practical and I like. Perfectly in line with fender

What brand spacers are you running?

[stl95celica]

Couldnt you just take the front finder plastics out then roll the front?

[Tigawoods]

id say your at functional flush status.
nonetheless it looks great so far!

[PolliS_5S-FE]

those green wheels look... ridiculous. sorry but to me that spoils the whole car. its like having a stick on bonnet scoop

[95-Abel]

Hey I say go for the green I think It will look sick.cause I want to do the same to mine.

[PolliS_5S-FE]

they just looks so out of place though, why not have poker dots down the side of the car aswell :\?

Currently how my celica sits now. The 7gen rims are back on on a very functional sort-of-flush with my 25mm spacers. Very happy with how they look. Deciding on new tyres KU36 or RE001.
