Considering I dont know how wide/what offset or what tyres/ride height your running that is almost impossible to answer..

In regards to your wheel studs.. that sounds stupidly bodgy.. I'd replace every single one of those hacksawed studs ASAFP
(whats ASAFP? as soon as f**king possible) because there has to be a reason your front wheels are sticking out..
With rolled guards & tempe wheels there is slim to no chance those wheels are filling your guards..
I'd look closer into this if I were you as you may find that your wheels are not sitting on your hubs properly...

i bought wheel studs to replace them, but when the time came (its only the front) the standard wheel studs were alot smaller than the ones hacksawed :S and they're actually welded onto the plate from behind..
they're not sticking out stupidly, they are cause there is spacers on them atm. when i get the new wheels put on ill have the guys have a look at them and see what i should do. maybe they can just have a nut that fits on well, its not bent or anything. just a little bit has been cut off.. but your right, it is very bodgy. No idea why the previous owner did it..

anywho! in regards to rolling the guards, they are 18" x 8", with 235/40/18 tyres with a +40" offset. its lowered an inch..thats all i know LOL

No your rear guards won't require rolling to avoid scrubbing the guards with that width/offset/tyre. You have mentioned previously that you have coilovers installed if I remember correctly? If that is the case, you may have clearence issues between your wheels ---> strut.

Something to keep in mind.

thanks yes to coilovers. makes sense, as there was 19's on them and the fronts were rolled but the rears wern't..

do you own a honda?

with dodgy wheel studs and honda offset wheels.

if the studs have been welded in there,you're going to need new front hubs. $250 odd each at trade from nissan.

Im bringing the studs to when they go to put the tyres on and see if they can do anything about it. its just the front ones that are like that, and im liturally scraping money out of my ass im that broke at the moment for new hubs..ill see if they can possibly detach them in any way or form, but chance is 1% lol..

thanks Scotty im only asking for members help.. i didnt ask for my car to have hacksawed wheel studs, i didnt even know untill we took the front wheels off. or for a honda offset.. i just wanted something thats legal incase of an acco while im still on my greens, but now im tempted to not even put pictures up cause all ill get is shit remarks anyway.

with the "keeping it legal" thing


m fairly sure seeing as your driving a prohibited vehicle insurance is void anyway (or at least they will try very hard)


also apparntly they cannot deny your insurance claim due to modifications aslong as the mods didnt cause the accident. something to do with section 42 or something. ll double check when i get to work though

Thanks Locky.
I'm still covered even though im prohibitly driving the vehicle as im listed as the 2nd driver with the insurance company, there actually is a loop-hole with that dad found out. He got Shannons (the insurnace company im with) to have a signed letter saying im covered driving this vehicle as the 2nd driver, regardless of it being on the prohibited vehicle list for provisional drivers.

otherwise i wouldnt be bothering with all this legal crap.
and its something to do with the offset then the arms / speedo being out / wheel alignment / putting more strain on other parts of the car they can get you by when you have an acco, same with bald tyres etc etc. IF they can be bothered going into that depth, which happened to me when i wrote off my previous car and they almost sued me this is why im so worried, i don't want to go through all that legal side of things again, i lost 5 grand cause of that last time, i happened to hit a dickhead who even went to throw a punch at me right infront of cops.

What happens when your wheel comes off from dodgy studs and the car careens into a pedestrian then? Does your 3rd party also cover you if you are driving a prohibited automobile?
