floggingmike Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) I never update this woops. My dad found an old europlate in his desk so I threw it behind the stock plate to add so extra stuff to the back. Here a couple nice pic of it from the KOP Meet a lil bit ago.

quiksilver Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Spacers. Especially for the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floggingmike Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) If you saw it in real life, you may not agree. Its cambered a little (-3 iirc) in the rear, and i can barely fit my fingers behind the fender in the rear. But for conversations sake, how much would you recommend spacing out. Actually now that I'm looking at it....... Damn. Edited September 8, 2014 by floggingmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN_CENA Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 69 mm bruh Or use 20 mm in the back, 15 front. That's what I run on the VR, but I'm stock height You would probably have to roll fenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floggingmike Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Decided I'm not spacing anything. I think it looks pretty good how it is. Im not rolling any fenders, especialllly not the rear. And Gabe you're P2 with different offsets so that doesn't correlate to my car really ya know.

RBoy8 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (p.s.15mm in the rear won't rub. Once you go 20mm though and the fenders are not rolled, you'll have rub if there's any kind of weight in the back or if you're significantly lowered. I agree in not spacing it though. Looks great as it is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hey man you should space out the rear 15mm to push them out a little. It looks funny when the rear wheels seem skinnier in hub to hub width than the front. 15mm and you'd be set. Plus, with the AWD camber you're running in the back, I'd venture to say you could actually get 20mm back there without rolling. Sure, the fender liners may burn off a bit after the first few hundred miles but after that you'll be golden. Spend the extra money and have the fenders rolled with a professional roller anyways, it just makes you feel better that it's been done.. It's very easy and doesn't take much time. I'm rolling all 4 corners on the SR when I get the chance. Other than that, dude I love your wagon. Looks mad tyte yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rolling all 4 corners on the SR when I get the chance. Other than that, dude I love your wagon. Looks mad tyte yo. x70s have a double-layered fender lip in the back, it's actually a PITA to roll Plus the AWD models have a 10mm wider rear track than FWD cars do, so our stock wheels are ever so slightly less tucked in from the factory Mike, wagon looks awesome dude! I don't remember if your comets are 7" or 7.5" wide. For arguments sake, if you used a 15mm spacer on 7.5" wheels, they'd sit 0.4mm further in than my wheels. With a 20mm spacer on 7" wheels, they'd sit 1.7mm further in than my wheels do. Reference pics of the wheels on my wagon: Wheels are 17x8 et34 with 235/45/17. I get some minor rubbing but only when I have a few hundred pounds of stuff in the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DScottM Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I can attest to the pain in the assery of the double wall rear fender rolling It is quite feasible tho... Heat, time, and Eastwood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 You forget that I had an S70 and C70 that I rolled fenders in Andrew? How do you think I fit +et20 on 18x8 in the rear of the coupe? I really didn't think it was that bad to do but maybe I just got lucky. I forgot about the wider track of the AWD though. Running a corrected offset of +et28 (15mm spacer on 7.0" wheel) in the rear would be your best bet as I know you're lower than Andy but it'd be the perfect form:function IMO. It'd sit in just a bit more than his wheels but I would almost guarantee you wouldn't rub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Mike I have a roller and gun for when you change your mind lol Rolling the fenders the right way takes a lot of time - and seeing how you and your dad pay attention to detail you will want to cleanly tuck the liners and roll etc - time Andy thanks - I came back and read your response - awd rear is indeed wider than fwd from the factory and rolling the doubled rear fender is insane ha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floggingmike Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the compliments and advice guys. Hmmm I guess ill check out 15mm for the rear to give her the fat ass she deserves..............Timo what spacers do you have again? I know you really like the new ones you put on after Carlisle. Edit: looked in your thread, MST? And ze Comets are 7.5" wide. Though my FL one is 7" but w.e. Dont stare at it.
