Well the tires on the fronts are brand new, the guy had just bought them, they are 225/35/18
The rears are the ones that need to be replaced but those seem to be just fine. I guess ill have to wait once i put my coilovers back on to see whats needed to do, i was thinking about the FEED fenders from shine, i guess this could be a good excuse lol

My opinion is, if you dont need them dont get them... Cause for what ive read here it would be a somewhat pain in the *** to replace them, your wheels fit fine so i wouldnt mess with that, worst case just get spacers. Ill post up some pics maybe tomorrow of my new wheels with and without spacers, cause i had some 25mm laying around so i said **** it and put them on lol... It sticks out a bit but im cool with it. But yea, if you dont need them DONT GET THEM!

my opinion is that it's a complete pain in the ***... just did mine.. you have to push out the bearing.. (which ruins it) to get the studs out. Purchase a new one.. and push it in. They arent cheap.. and if you don't have the press to do it or know how so you don't ruin the new bearing.. then just don't do it haha.
here's mine. Click on the video if you wanna see how we got the axles out...

So I made the mistake of buying a pair of rears to fit with my widebody. Now I can't find fronts to match Think I'll end up just buying any old 18" VS-SD's and getting inner and outters made up to the correct offset. Anyone know of any for sale? Preferably 18x10 -10 but anything will do :P

Rears: Work VS-SD 18x12 -4
Fronts: ROH Drift-R 18x9 +35

Some 265/40/18's stretched over them, while having the kit fitted


295/30/18 Pirelli Pzero Corsa Systems


Photoshopped the rears onto the front, just to see how it will look once I do find some!

They get sold here in NZ as a 'vanquish widebody', but they're a replica/mould from something else no doubt!

did you do all that just to fit new studs??

simple bash them out, put new ones in place then use a nut and some washers to pull them through. very cheap as well.

Can anyone confirm this works on the rear? I thought the only way was the way manny did it and decided it wasn't worth the effort.

DONT... you can't get the rears out without pushing the wheel bearing and pulling the whole hub apart. I can confirm it..NOT working on the rear. The fronts are simple, but nothing like the rears

Would this work with stock fenders rolled and pulled?

Front- 18x10 +25 265/35/18

Rear- 19x10.5 +0 285/35/19

I'm a noob at this and did do some research but would like to make sure before i spend money on this setup.

I'm guessing it would end up looking something like this?
Originally Posted by speedjunkie

Wheels- Enkei RPF1
Sizes/offsets- 18x10 +38 F, 18x10.5 +15 R
Tires- Nitto NT555RII
Sizes- 285/35-18 F, 305/35-18 R
Optional info- Flared the rear fenders a hell of a lot more (probably about 2 inches past stock at this point), camber I believe is about -1.5* front and -1* rear, but I don't remember for sure, STANCE coilovers still.
