Mr green.. thats one sexy clubmen. you have a cardomain page?

[Adam_NAclubman]

We all have sexy Clubman's


+45 is only the standard offset on the standard narrow wheels


I rolled my guards on the side of a country road with a thick branch from a tree, worked really well, no paint damage at all. It was only after we got back and decided to go over it with a pipe (even rolled in rags) that we cracked the paint straight away


15 x 7 + 17 with 195/50/50's

Hi mate, good to see a fellow newbie! And thanks for all of your response as well guys. Zoomzoom, can you pls post some pics of ur ride? I'm interested to know what the 15x7's with +35 offset looks like as that would *probably* be close to the configuration I'll end up with.

Thanks !

Adam and GreenComet.....your cars look AWESOME. Oh man.....I really do gotta consider rolling the guards. On the other hand, I don't really want the hassle of doing so....Christ....what a predicament!

[Adam_NAclubman]

2 inch diameter, 18 inch long branch. Get a mate to rest it on the wheel and lean on it, then you move the car forwards and backwards. As long as you do it gradually enough, and the wood is still green, it won't harm the paint at all

I think hot paint is more flexy (soft) so less likely to crack than cold paint. Hit the guard with a hair dryer for a while or heat gun (careful it will bubble the paint if you leave it too long).

Guys,

I went to JDMyard in Padstow this arvo....checked out some of their range and seemed that Buddy Clubs are quite nice and relatively inexpensive. I was looking at a set of 15x7\" SF's and the guy told me that the max offset I can get for those rims are +35

How did u guys achieve +15 or +30 with your rims??

[Adam_NAclubman]

I've got 15 x 7 +17 BuddyClub P1's, I think they came on a import from Japan.

How much were new SF's?

Ive come across the Rota RBs in another forum that looks pretty mean and quite good for its price.

Heres the 13\"x8\" with +4 offset:







Im interested in getting 15\"x7\" with +4 offset... There is a group buy price if anyone is interested (roughly $600usd inc freight)

Im just getting a quote on how much flared Tuckin99 guards are before I commit to these rims.

[deez]

Where can you get ROTA rims in Sydney? Pls dont criticise my interest in replicas, I'm broke
