wasnt really a fan of thee wheels when i first saw them mailny cuz there not my style but have to say starting to like them a bit n none the less car looks good though

 

^ Thanks. The reason I went for them is because I get a 'Euro' vibe from them. I'm a big fan of VW stance. My original plan was to run little to no camber all around and just poke out the rears but without raising the car it proves to be challenging.

 

Jasper, I loved your car before and I love it now. LOL. Seems like no matter what you do to your car, it stays lookin hard!! Good job.

 

Yeah its not thst there not nice its jus not my style at least on this car u know but still looks
good i jus prefer something else...which reminds me sat i am hopin to have something else ;)

Jasper: independent rear suspension + wide/low offset wheels + slammage = more negative camber.

 

I guess I'm in the market for camber arms now...

 

My Hotchkis will be up for sale pretty soon.

Reference:

 

^ And when the rear suspension isn't compressed like that, you actually had a bit of poke didn't you?

Edit: Yeah you did. I just looked at your Canibeat feature. How did you get that little rear flare? All I seem to end up doing is pulling.



Damn man. This reminds me how perfect your stance was for the tC. It's not low to the point where it looks broken or non-functional. Perfect. <3

 

My buddy rolls and flares fenders. I definitely needed it to be able to tuck wheel on inclines.
I wasn't satisfied with the height yet during that shoot.

 

I'd really like to know the secret to a flare like that. I'll be running pretty much exactly the same specs as Jasper (sorry bud) so I am curious as well.

^ lol you'll probably have me missing those wheels more than I already do. I don't like my Rotiforms as much as I liked my RPF-1s sometimes. I think I miss the bling of SBC. Lolz

 

My bud heated the fender from the outside, then rolled the Eastwood at an angle on the fender.

 

So did he just completely flatten the rear lip of the fender? No cutting/grinding part of it off first? I will need to do mine soon.

 

He just rolled them flat, then flared them heated.

 

I see, I was wondering how people handled that 1/4" or so flat lip of the rear fender.

 

flaring is done with a roller as spoony said, just heat the outside of the fender up and angle the roller and roll the edge of the fender with the roller where you want to flare it, i would suggest not going straight to a crazy angle but keep it moderate to see if you like it or not, overly flared fenders are ugly imo. then dont change the angle of it and do the same to the other side.

 

 

I'm planning on getting 17x10 et 25 rim do i need any camber bolts or spacers? I have rolled fenders and drop on racelands.

 

Jerriks, Socals past set-up, and my current wheel specs are 17x10 +25 and unless u don't want to rub like crazy or buckle, it'd be smart to have camber bolts. And depending on what rim you get, you may need spacers

 

I was thinking of just picking up some stp1 and I wanted to know what else I needed other then the rims. wheres a good place to order some camber bolts? and I would assume I need it all around right.
