Hey guys, my 20's got delivered today, and i'm ecstatic!

They are being fitted as we speak! Cant wait to get her back! :D

Also, anyone have any DIY guard rolling tricks, or should i just leave it to the pro's?

What sized 20s did you get? I have them on mine in 8.5" front and 10" rear and haven't had to roll anything to make them fit.

Offset looks very wrong, hence your problem. 9.5" in 38 offset or higher shouldn't be anywhere near the guard.

9.5" wide on the front? Rolling the guards won't be all you need to do to fix that problem. The inner linings will all scrub out also. Can't do much about it though.

Lew had told me about what offset I would need, but couldn't remember what he'd said, so I mentioned it to the tyre dude.. He fobbed it off, don't worry about that mate.... I didn't think any more of it cos he was s'posed to be the pro... Oh well...

Murray, that's the exact same problem I have right now. I tend to hear the tyre scraping the wiring loom when I turn left. Doesn't bother me that much, just scared it'll chew through some wires one day.

Are you sure its rubbing on the loom? do you still have the inner guard lining?
At any rate, re-route that loom through the engine bay before you do any serious damage to your cars electrics.

Murray, how hard is it to re-route it? I had to remove the guard lining because my front mount piping was pushing it out, causing it to scrub really really badly.

all i did was cut the entire loom in half, taping different coloured wires together in bunches, about 3 or 4 bunches in total as some wires are same colour but different stripes.
Then simply ran the wires back through the holes they came through, into the engine bay, soldered them back together. heatshrink, then wrapped it in split loom tubing

Sounds like a plan Murray. I'll ask my mechanic to see whether he'll be able to do this job. I'm not very good with electronics :-)

9" wide on the front might not clear the guards :-(

10" on the rear... what size rubber will you be putting on them? 285 will scrub the guard if you're too low, but 275 doesn't seem to pose a problem on 45 offset in 10" at the rear.

My car is sitting on Work Meisters S1 3PC at the moment.
Rim Size F/R: F:18x9.5 R:18x10.5
Rim Offset F/R: F:+24 R:+24
Tire Size F/R: F:235 R:265
Suspension Setup: Stock

Fronts don't hit the guards at all but they do rub the inner mud guards on full lock. I've got Supra brakes coming in and will probably have to sell them since I don't think they'll fit.

With the rear guards, I had the inner lip of the guard stripped of the plastic piece and hammered back. I'm planning to pump them properly once I get coilovers (hopefully).

265 on the rear won't rub at all on a 10" wide rim at that offset. I can run a 275 and not get rubbing with standard guards.

The fronts seem to be more of an issue at large widths. Full lock mainly the problem as mentioned above.

Ive got 275's atm on the 17x9 rims. No dramas at all, but then my car is hardly low.

The fronts are 2mm more outward than James' 18x9, so I might have to back down to 235 instead of 245..

PLanning on going 295 on the rear, but the 285 is a much better fit for the rim. Still, 295 will be good for posing!

Noticed a metallic rub noise over teh last week when turning almost full lock right. DOesnt do it the other way, and I cant see whats rubbing, sounds like a brake pad might be unevenly worn down and is flexing the bare surface...have to get it oin the hoist.
