I cant remember the brands they used for this test, but interesting a 255 rated dunlop starspec tire is much wider than a 255 rated hankook tire..by alot. Enough to make a difference. They put the tires right behind eachother and you could see the difference. Every brand is different even though they are all rated the same? weird

The wheels are rubbing against the bit where the rear bumper joins with the rear side fenders as you saw in the photos I uploaded on Flickr and my left side is actually rubbing onto the rear bumper when I'm reversing out of my driveway cause of the weight etc so I was thinking last night to just saw it off. I'll take some more pics later if I can. It's so hot today lol. My guards have already been rolled if you can tell.
Thank you! Though I feel as if I lost torque ahahah.
Thank you thank you! I've always loved TE's as well and this is my first ever car that I'm actually modding. Even though I wanted a different car to mod so that I can learn from DIY's (DC2R, EK4, EG6 or something) but whatever, I'm lucky enough to have a CU2 instead.
LOLLLLLL....... Whoa, haven't seen that vid in a while.. We were just mucking around at a hotel when we were interstate hahaha! I'm the one in the grey singlet lol!
Yeah, I know Maybe in the future I'll professionally paint them! I'm too lazy to tint the tail lights ahaha!!
Lol! We just went to Sydney, Australia for a little holiday for fun. We're from Melbourne, Australia :P
That's the same issue I had with my 275s in the rear.. I had to carefully and patiently pull the rear fender out just a tad bit so the lines with the bumper flows better... BTW, i love the TE37s. Every car I've own in the last 10 years had TE37s on them. This is my first departure...

Thank you! No, not all around because 19x9.5 +22 won't fit the fronts. Fronts I'm going for 19x8.5 +29 but even with those, I'm scared they won't fit :S I'll just have to wait and see!

Yes, they're 14829.
Umm, for the left side, they added in an extra piece of piping to make it reach up to the flange gasket and for the right side, they had to cut a bit and add in a flange gasket.

Hey guys, I think my left side is sticking out more than my right (negative camber). If I wanted to make them the same, is this what I'd need?

Instead of messing with the fender and causing body damage, get hubs on the Volks machined down to +50mm or as close as you can. This way, you can run a decent size tire in the back and not worry about any more rubbing.

Damn! Fitment on the new wheels look sick! Cant wait to see completed shots. a camber kit should do the trick. hopefully you wont need a toe kit. I had to get both. But I was trying to achieve the opposite and get back to/closer to stock specs

Cheers buddy! Yeah, so will that 1arm that I linked up top be enough? I'm not trying to get back to stock specs, I just want my camber to be the same so the tyres can wear "evenly"

I was given the same advice for my front wheels. A good wheel repair/ machine shop should be able to help you with that. I never went through with it tho. I just stiffened my dampers and no more rubbing. But your fitment is more aggressive than mine. Not sure if that will fix your rubbing problems.
I think the camber arms should be enough to get you even. The oem toe arms are adjustable to an extent. So they should be able to get you back to 0. But itd be best to ask an alignment guy. Get one of those lifetime alignment deals and see what they think is needed. If toe arms end up being necessary, you can always go back for free after installing the new toe arms.

would an alignment tell you how far off spec you are on either side?

@swarlos - Alright, I'll go sometime this week to a wheel shop or something and see what they can do. My dampers are on max settings atm and I'm still rubbing ahahha. A few of my friends are complaining about the stiffness BUT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. IT'S MY CAR BETCHEZ. And I shall ask about that life time toe arm thingy =o might not only be in the states or something hahah.
@Killer - Yeah, when you go to get a wheel alignment, they give you your current specs (toe and camber) and then they give you the specs afterwards on what they did to your car.

I don't know how to change it Ed LOL. There's too many options?
And more pics on my Flickr thingy.

Yes, I know, some pics are blurry.. it's because my lens has a scratch on it and sometimes it focus' on the scratch :S
Edit: Warm start:
Edit 2: that sound at the end of each time I step on the pedal is because it's my roof's metal sheets vibrating in case you think it's the car making weird noises.

I'll try get one done this weekend!
LOL, I just whistled.
I'll try get one up soon!
Hahaha, buy me any GTR
I THINK I do feel a loss in torque.. but when the car is very warm (I've been driving for 30+ mins) and I step on it in 2nd, it goes pretty quick. I haven't thrashed my car ever since I've gotten my Magnaflows on because 1. New wheels = more attention = I will get raped by the cops more easily and harder if I get busted. 2. Scared to speed now since my friend got his car impounded for 1 month for going 80km over the speed limit and my dad is serious when it comes to speeding.

You see me, I CU2
Young one?! I'm older than you!!!! LOL
if the rims take 2 months why dont you just remove them for now? saves the rims + tires from erryday wear and tear and possible thievery?
