Grennan's G8 SSV Sportswagon!

[Grennan]

man I wonder what their problem is (liability?)they only poke an extra 28mm over factory, add the option of camber or rolling the front guards and they'll tuck easily and there's no clearance issue's. I've seen 20x10 20P on the front

I dunno, but I spoke to TSW Australia and Wheel Deal the reseller. Both suggested against it.

I said, ok ill re measure.

Ive got MULTIPLE examples in this thread of people running similar offsets. Including one with a 35P * 10Inch. Which pokes 38mm compared to the 8.5 20P 34mm (thats over standard 8" 48P)

Told them, order the +20s. He said no worries ill do it.

I put the phone done. Within...2 minutes got a phone call saying theyve got 35s in stock in Australia.

Soooo. Long story short. Theyre sending th 35s done. They agreed I could fit them and see where they sat and if I didnt like it I could just continue on with the +20s.

But I did say the coil overs do have camber adjustment and the 245s should fit either flush or just under the guard with some camber.

I guess its more just they dont want me coming back and complaining they dont fit.

fair enough, if you want stick some $30 12mm spacers behind them to get an idea of how 20P will sit and you can check clearances at full lock. I remember I had this on my phone, G8 auto cross setup, 10s with 315s on the front.

Well they said they wont have tyres on them. So I think the entire process is a waste of my time to be honest. But eh we shall see. Ill have a good idea anyway of where the rim sits and ill just add around 35mm to the height and use my imagination.

Really annoying cause I was second guessing myself. Measured, saw pictures, measured again and made a decision. Ordered them and now because of this im second guessing myself again.

Stick with your gut instinct, you know won't you want to achieve so make it happen and not settle second something your not happy with.

Can't wait to see it tho. In my imagination it looks mint

Yeah, Ive got that Stanceworks VE Wagon as my desktop at work. It wont be quite like that, but I have a low, fat tyred wagon in my head.

There you go.

Not the best video. I did one early in the morning and it has a nice crackle/burple at around 3500rpm - especially in the manual shift mode but that videos playback was all fked up.

10" rear +45p 9" front +48p

10" rear +48p 9" front +45p
If thats any help to ya?

Ok went and had them test fitted.

For your viewing pleasure.

Fitment photos.

Thats with +35 on the front. Its pretty much dead on flush. The verniers are where +20 would sit.

So the plan now is. +35 with a 5mm spacer. Bringing it up to a +30 which is where I was originally wanting to go.

That will make it dead flush maybe even a little poke. Ill dial in some camber and bobs your aunty.

This is how the rear sits.
