Abz Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 That's tight! I like it, couldn't do it on my car as I'd be driving everywhere with my butt clenched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I like the flared look as long as it is done properly like in this case. I wasn't sure with the first load of pics but then Matt's pics explained things a lot better. I think it will look aggressive, good on you. I had to do something similar to a mates 206 to get his wheels to fit, it was quite a bit of work but i enjoyed doing it here is a few pics. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r8/L18msy/brianspug006.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r8/L18msy/brianspug007.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r8/L18msy/brianspug008.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r8/L18msy/brianspug009.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r8/L18msy/brianspug010.jpg Not to everyones taste but you get the idea Thanks mate, nice work on that pug jamsey that rear tyre that i belive is a michelin pilot sport is out of date . 6 years max dude I only bought them off J a few months ago and he only had them a short time mate. Well IMHO, I like it, I like it a lot. Recon when it's all done its going to look amazing. Love the flared arch look. Cheers John im hoping so mate OP......what side skirts are those on ur supra mate? They are C-West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I like it. Looking forward to seeing the end result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I like this too, I think it will look like a nice subtle flare when it's finished and it was one of the routes I'd have taken if my wheels stuck out too much. I have stretch but it still rubs on bad dips/bumps so I can only imagine how much yours must have with the wider tires! But yeah, once the paint is on I'm sure it will change some opinions bud.

Hi Mark Yeah to be honest i'd have rather put something like a 265 tyre on the rear and stretch them on (as i like that look anyway) so they cleared - but with the power im running traction is a bit of an issue so the wider the tyre the better!

Luxluc Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm sure it's gonna look great when finished. Are you sticking with the 315 at the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Just so you guys know, that isn't the wheel hub... it's the brake disc hub. No issues with painting it as long as you leave the mating surface free and clear. Do NOT paint the wheel hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think it will look good once done. I had to do similar on mine and I think its a nice touch. Should be able to get some nice wide drag tyres under there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Which arch enemy guy did you use as that is shocking I was trained by the guy that owns arch enemy and i can guarantee that anyone competant can easily do an arch without the paint flaking if the paintwork was in good condition to start with Ive done over 30 cars in training/helping and i didnt have one drama and ive done a few cars on my own with my kit and havent had a problem Only drama you can get with Japanese cars is a slight dent/indentation due to the metal warping but that is an easy fix as i was shown how really gutted it didnt work for you but not all who work arch enemy are that bad Liking the new arch work now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 if jamie had the jdl arches you should have grabbed them, it does look mean and pretty good but i can honestly see them touching. when you plant your foot down the supras have a big n heavy ass which loves to kiss the tarmac. i had the jdl arches and you can fit really wide wheels with no care in the world of them rubbing.

Al Massey Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 there is no way you can achieve that type of Full arch bend/roll without the paint cracking. Yeah you can, its easy to do, you need to heat the metal and paint gently so it forms round nicely Ive done it loads of times and i will be doing to mine soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
