I just put a new rim on my car, and it sticks out a good 8mm from the guard.

Is there anything i can do to make it fit under the guard?

The tires are 265, i have some tires that stretch on it that should fit if the guard is rolled.

You could have the wheel hub machined down or talk to a few people about how far you can go with the gaurds before the paint will crack.

I am meant to run 255s on my rear, but I have 235's stretched, makes it sit nicely under the guard and can dump the car to the bump stops with out rubbing.

So basically you can run stretched tyres or roll the guards with the 255s.

With those wheels and tyres, I would just roll the guards and maybe a slight pump to get the tyres in the guards. And this is coming from a person that is running stretched tyres, neg camber and a slight flair to fit his wheels.

I just went to a Panel beater and i booked it in to get something similar done to it, just only half of what that car pictured is sticking out, to cover the wheels and also no bolt on, the guards will be cut and welded then shaped and re-painted.

Turned out even with 235s on the rims and the guards rolled it will still rub with a bit of weight.

Sorry but i think that's a tad boring.

I agree. You can't go wrong with standard offset.

that's overkill for those wheel specs. a roll and maybe a pull and it'll be fine.

bolt on flares are for starlets and dx corollas not much else and even then they still look gay but even more so when someone bolts them on to an Aristo. cut and weld if you must flare but I agree with Evan just roll and pull and you should be right

dont even need to pull them. just roll them and put some tire stretch or negative camber.

what are the specs on the wheels? offsets and width?

I do guard rolling all the time as a job and all you need is a guard roll with a tiny flare, if that.

No bullsh.it panel beating and re welding etc required - dont waste your money to fit those rims as they can be fitted with a simple guard roll flare if you want to run a lowered car.
