    Default Wheel Fitment.

    Car - Ke70

    motor - 4age bigport (not that it matters(

    use -street daily

    problem -i have recently bought new wheels and the dont fit

    occurs/started when -i put the wheels on

    personal situation - I have new wheels (getting) they wont fit my gaurds im running some bolton flairs and they wont fit under them and the flairs are really sketchy and look shit.

    So i was wondering what i can do i have thought about putting some front flairs on the rear and was wondering how hard it is are there any pointers tips on how to do it or if anyone has any other suggesttions btw the wheels are 14x9 -25.

    cheers cal.

    maybe wait until you actually get the wheels then test fit them and see what you need to do

    how would putting front steel guards on the rear and flaring them, possibly give more room than decent bolt ons?

    in all honestly 9 -25s are a bit overkill on a ke70

    and as a daily? u wont last ten minutes lol

    thoses sizes will look a bit odd on a ke as the rear gaurds are alot smaller than the fronts, so you will have stock front guards then massively flared rears

    Dailys 'should' have wheels that fit in stock guards IMO

    Obviously you want more extreme

    My corolla had a dead flush 8 -22 with a front flared guard on the rear but that was trimmed back about 15 or so mm so 9 -25 will stick 15mm further out which is very wide but will fit with a 185/60.

    But is that what you really want as a daily? That much stretch and track? Id find some 8 -10's all round and flare slightly to suit personally, or some 8 +-0 and fit them in stock rolled guards.

    Your rear guards will cost you around 1500 bucks for the front to rear thing from a panel beater

    your rear will sit out another 6mm from this, bit much for a daily imo

    Finding bolt-on flares that look good and suit a *E7* is hard, i ended up getting some universal bolt on flares that i liked the look of and modded them to suit. Moulding them to fit and prepping them for paint took about 2 hours each flare (im not a professional panel beater obviously) I then modded the original guards to have ample clearance. The front guards were easy, just angle grind off the original flare leaving just a little bit of it so as to bolt on the fibreglass flare slightly further down and pushed out. The rears were harder as you had the same work as the fronts plus the inner gaurd has to be cut out aswell then shaped and re-welded to the outer lip. My bolt-on flares now give my car a 10mm lower appearance all round, 30mm more clearance at the front and 35mm more clearance at the rear. All up it took me about 10 hours and they still havent been painted yet. Goodluck.
