Thanks guys
The wheels no longer look out of proportion. I am now just trying to find a GT-B rear wing to finish off the back.

[Ben_20EJT]

The rear is fine with rolled guards but i am having some major scrubbing issues on the front. Just wondering what anyone else has done to fit this size wheel with a +42 offset on their Gen 3. For example if they have added some serious front camber or rolled the front guards. Any help is greatly appreciated.

i just put a set of 18x7.5 +42 work cr kai's on my wagon, it already had a semmi roll but cause zach has a roller we just gave the car a full roll, it didnt have any scrub with the new wheels befor we rolled it. pm zach he has a roller and can roll em for you.

I'll get under there tomorrow with a heat gun and a mallet and sort them out.

Looks good, much better!

on thing you could do to finish up the front end look is move your number plate like me and motoboy (dan also) have done.. Move it upwards, would require taking off the protector -i think they're ugly anyway though..

Is it actually rubbing on the guards or on the guard liner/skirt?

Just the guard but I have to be driving it pretty hard in sharp turns for it to do it.

I plasti dipped my wheels black this morning. I am really starting to like the black and red theme. I just need some black side indicators and wheel nuts now.

[Adam]

Tell me more about plasti dip.

Is it removable?

Looks good!

Looks so good!

Well done.

Yep, you literally just peel it off in one big piece.

How many cans did it take to do your wheels??

[Josh.]

I used 1 and a half because I only had to do the front of the wheel because the rest of the wheel is already black.
My mates who have done the inside of their wheels too used 3 cans.
3 cans only cost $90 with delivery.
