fuel Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 not taking a dig at you, but maybe plan it properly before executing it might help? I mean ordering 10" wide rims without checking the offsets probably wasn't the most planned out thing in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 just stick at it man. IMO get some 194/45s and go from there. it will save a heap of hassle having to push the guards out a metric shit ton for your semis. plus it will look more badass. it will all fall into place eventually my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Just cruise around for now (dont want to wear these semi's too fast) Whats the point of having semi's if your not going to make use of them, just get regular tyres like everyone else is saying.

karmagedon Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yea dude, only reason I got them was they only cost me $100. I could'nt even find normal tyres for cheaper than that, so thought I'd just rock them while I save up for some T1R's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 sweet as man. tyres are so gay to fork out for, so its pays to get it right the first time haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggo Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Imo tires are one of the most important parts of keeping a car safe and on the road. Using semis that are probably hard, shitty in the wet, and perform badly when not at temp instead of regular tires just to save money, is pretty retarded. Especially considering you are buying brand new sets of wheels, new coilovers etc confuses the living shit out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmagedon Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 I'd just rock them while I save up for some T1R's I am planning on using good tyres, I just need to save up for them, and wanted the use of the new wheels while I wait. Seemed fair enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmagedon Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 haha ok, thanks for the heads up anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlex Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Feck this shit. seems the 17's are going on again until I can either sort guards out (no amount of rolling and prying with tube will pull it)or get more suitable tyres. Sick of shit not working the way I plan it. This is for you friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I got a bolt on roller, come to Whakatane for the weekend and roll that shit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Dave, my mate Ryan in Hamilton has a bolt on roller, he will probably roll all of your guards for a couple of boxes of piss. I'll PM you his number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmagedon Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Lush, thanks heaps. Will a guard roller push the guards out aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Lush, thanks heaps.Will a guard roller push the guards out aswell? Yep, get some heat in the steel, and just roll for ages, winding the roller out bit by bit, have to take your time tho, or the gaurd will get all warped and fugly.
