Thinking about getting some 15x8 6UL's

Postby rascal » Tue May 05, 2009 1:34 pm

If i did need to roll the guards just a touch, is there somewhere in melbourne where i could get a quality job done at a reasonable price? i am thinking i may try to stick with a 45 profile rubber to reduce risk of rubbing aswell.i do also have a bit more room for camber adjustment :) not sure how much though.


I'd also be interested in the same. (guard roll in Melb) I asked a tyre/wheel shop around me and they quoted $75 per guard which I thought was a bit exxy..

Who are you insured with?

Or more importantly, don't ask us, ring them and ask.

Plus about 1000 bucks to repair all the chipped paint on all guards. 8)

I think with 8" wheels you'll be outside of the allowed variations - so you may need engineer approval to make it legal. If you don't, you can be sure your insurance will be void.

Check the rules for your state before parting with your hard earned (or your "sit down" KRudd money)...

I wonder how much they weigh with 225? Probably still under 16 kg, lighter than oem.
