before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, i know there is a designated thread for wheels here:
http://auslancer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2020
just had a thought, maybe anyone who has had fitment problems with certain wheels having an abnormal offset not reccommended for lancers (i.e not between +35-45)
and could post the problem they encountered while mounting these wheels (whether it be camber issues, contact with the brakes as i recall joshy_morris had with his rota's) and how they overcame this issue.
just trying to avoid problems for anyone who is after buying wheels with some poke and encountering the same issues that someone else has dealt with. (could also save money)
i know there arent many people who have had fitment issues, so this thread would only be about 1-3 pages long. making it alot easier to read through, rather than a whole members ride thread, or the 250+ posts in our designated wheels thread.
for example if i were to buy these wheels: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/16-XXR-5...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19d4c7d95c
i could run through this thread and see if anyone has had problems with wheels that have the same diameter/width/ offset
so i guess format would be something like
- brand/model of wheels
- wheel + tyre dimensions
- problem encountered
- how the issue was resolved (whether it be spacers/adjusting camber/rolling guards etc.)
all feedback will be appreciated.
thanks

This thread is actually a really good idea. A wheel fitment 'reference' thread.
It would be good to see: 2 pics, wheels and tyre specs and everything done to fit them.
Example (7R3N7 is the example. Thanks mate)
Wheels:
16" Volks staggered 8" Front - 7" Rear
Tyres:
Front - 205/45 Rear - 195/45
Fitment:
Camber - Front = 3.2° camber. Rear = 2° camber
Suspension - Coilovers
Offset - Front +38 Rear +35, both with 15mm spacers
Guards - Rolled and pumped.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wheels:
AVS model 6's. 17x7 front, 17x8 rear
Tyres:
205/40 all round
Fitment:
-0.5* front, -3* rear
Suspension - Coilovers
Offset - front+30, rear +35
Guards - rolled.
needs spacers on front and rear, and more camber up front.
------------------------------------------------------------------
User: Joshymorris
Wheels:
16" Rota Grid Drifts. 8" wide
Tyres:
195's/45's
Fitment:
Camber - Rear Megan camber arms, unsure of degrees.
Suspension - Yellow speed coilovers
Offset - +10
Guards - Guards rolled all around.
Correct me if I'm incorrect
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wheels:
15" Varrstoen V1, 8" wide
Tyres:
195/55's all round
Fitment:
Camber - No idea as I did not get a printout
Suspension - BC Coilovers
Offset - +25 all round
Guards - Rolled and slightly pumped.
I'll swap these pics out fore some better ones when I take them
------------------------------------------------------------------
Wheels:
16"x7" B.I.M DHS034
Tyres: Federal 595 RS-R front, Bridgestones Potenza RE-01 rear
205/45 all round
Fitment:
Camber - very little if any camber
Suspension - Tein Super Street front, Tein HA rear
Offset - +30 all round
Guards - Rears rolled, bumper tab filed down
Not hellaflush but for what i wanted the sizing is spot on. Having 7" allows 205 tyres to be fitted without any stretch and could easily take 215. Sits just in of flush with no scrubbing even with the car decently lowered.
