Every turbo car I've had has had compressor surge & I'm still yet to fark a turbo :\ ..Should have rear guards flared to fit my wheels under, 25mm spacers on rear & 20mm on front, Without the spacers on the rear the wheels just tuck inside the arch without having them to be lipped, But the spacers make them look very tough in how they sit so the guards will be copping a big flare, In doing so I know full well the guards will pop in as it's common on the 180/s13 silvia's when flaring guards, Sometimes they can be pushed back out but sometimes it just doesn't cut it, Also the guards will be heated up as much as possible to prevent to much cracking of the paint but I have a feeling the guards will get the flare they need but the paint will get pretty shagged, Not a massive drama as I will be getting them repaired..Or there is an idea on going wide body & cutting the stock guards out to fit the wheels tight up against the wide guards

I'll get some tomorrow, Also got all my tyres fitted to the 18's, & got my spacers back from being machined, found out that when you put my spacers on that the stud sticks out a few mm past the spacer, so larger spacer it had to be, So now the front will have 25mm & the rear will be 27.5mm, Still trying to decide weather to leave my guards the way they are until i go wide body then cut the stock guards out so i can fill out the wide body or just flare the guards & leave it the way they are, Swaying towards wide body..around 40mm should be enough for the rear & something like 25-30mm for the front
