Insani-T Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Who flipped the rims for you dude? Loving what you are doing to this ute, showed my old man and he is keen to do something similar to his crappy work ute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobumps Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Chur, Henwood automotive Did it. But any decent welder/ engineer could do it for you. Took it for its first drive this morning drives real nice apart from rear right wheel rubbing hard and rubbed of white wall haha, I think the offset on the wheel is slightly different.

Insani-T Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Do they require certification for having them flipped like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if the ute has a panhard rod the lowering will push the diff slightly to one side more. Try swapping the wheels over and see if it's the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobumps Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 yeah nah, had that wheel on front and stuck out a fraction as well, Its only a slight difference just enough to be a pain. I managed to roll the gaurd with a extension bar then a jack handle without cracking paint so ill see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 How were the white walls done dude? Do you know someone with a special roller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobumps Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Na I do em myself just mask of where you want them usually the tyre has good lines to mask around then it involves alot of degreasing then a quick sscuff then some more degreasing, then i apply a adheasion promoer let that dry then apply the paint with a bush.

You can use a brush too, saves getting leaves in your whitewall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
