Aussie wheel tech/discussions

Yeah....um, that's a fair way off fitting. I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but how'd you stuff up by that much when measuring?

I'd get smaller lips....it's probably not worth trying to make them fit on such a new car. If you do any major guard work it means that you'll have to always run that size/width/offset wheel no matter what.

totally agree, miss calculated the original offset by 20mm or miss wrote a measurement
going to sus out replacements if not will build and try to sell

will sus out with my wheel buddy (seb) of were i went wrong

I thought the same with my old GTA wheels. The zero offset made it stick out aye. Gave me second thoughts.

Just to town with the roller, flared to the shit house. It'll fit eventually aye.

This looks fine.

its ......................... not good

But this looks to be another 1" further out. Personally I think it's a bit too much. Will need overfenders. Might be better just to get smaller lips or barrels.

my test fit was a bust, turns out my offset calculations were way off by a fair bit, not sure if to re order barrels or just run with it as purely show rims

Ive got 4 195/55 tyres just laying around with heaps of meat left over. Need to be used aye. I probably could go a 205 something something 16. Depends haven't test fitted wheels yet.

what polish do you boys recommend for lips? mine have a few fine scratches and water marks.
Have purple polish at home that i was going to use

I used purple polish in the past and loved it.
Jarred hooked me up with some new stuff though so ill have to give that a go.

Sorry dyl. I meant carnaubra wax to seal. Not car polish.

Crazy white boy

Anyone ever mounted a 195/55R16 on a 9.5 wide wheel? Can't find a pic on tyrestretch.

if you cant find it in a 16, look for 195/55/15 or 195/55/14, still the same thing.
Ive had that problem before. do you really need a 195 on a 9.5 though, bit wow

Yeah opticoat is rad, when my paint is fixed it'll be going on. Just don't know about using it on raw lips. Keen to see how it goes
