Well, the story was mainly about flare installation, but from what I can remember, no steering stop adjustment was needed with -25mm offset rims.

Worth checking out, flares looked horn too with big rubber tucked up in the well.

Glad you liked it, that was my car

G'day Boxer,

Had my suspicions, from the photos earlier in the thread.

Nice work, looking at doing the same thing to my S1 when funds allow.

I'm guessing you're pretty happy with the setup? Did going to 33's effect gearing much, mainly on the open road?

What issue was this as I tried picking it up when I heard murmur of it. Since they are all wrapped in plastic now I bought what I though was it and got nothing. Being the rubbish magazine they are I wasn't game to waste another $9 trying again

I'm keen to get this article though!

Ignore me I just found the flexiflares post

Stu,

For the record, it was 4wd Custom Action No.12.

Was from a while ago now, flexiarch post has all the info bla bla bla like you mentioned.

Many thanks to Boxer for posting the article up, good on ya.

Cheers,

Pando.

Is it true you can't use wheel spacers, I have some 30mm spacers on mine which is then a +3mm offset which gives a much better stance, but then you can go and fit -25mm offset wheels, which I think is going to strain the axles somewhat.
