Just wondering why your wheels arnt sticking out past the gaurd in the rear like mine. I have the same offset etc on the rear. Is it because its lowered with camber arms?? Cheers.

I thought this was easy? Now i gotta get adjustable coilovers to?.........dammit, its all starting to add up haha. So in theory, 235/40's will fit without adjusting my ride height (and adding coilovers), but its gonna look like shit, is that correct? And the camber arms? Will that solve my front wishbone interference problem, or will smaller dia tyres do the trick? And what happens if i dont get the camber arms? Does that mean i will be running negative camber and chewing through tires (and money)? Cheers

Easy eh?..................I like the sounds of that! haha So would TAKZ be correct in recomending the 225s? Where do i purchase these "camber arms" you speak of, what is the going for a front and rear set, and what is invloved in lowering my car? (I must sound like a complete reatrd with all these Q's.....sorry) Thanks in advance for all your help everyone. Cheers

Hi Takz,I took some photos for you to look at this arvo.The second shows the rim with the nuts (cant get a socket in there).The thrid is is from the rear (the tyre sticking out past the guard) And the fourth, i was trying get a shot of the wishbone interfereing with the tyre, but i coudnt get enough light in there Anyway, let us know your thoughts.Cheers heaps!Ps i cant work out the editing of this thing. Its all over the shop.<BR><BR>

Thanks for your help, i will take some photos this arvo for your reference, and post tonight. Cheers

Thanks alot for the advice. Forgive my ignorance, but what is involved in lipping my guards (process, cost, approximate timeframe, does it need to be done by someone familiar with this process?, and will it wreck my existing paint?) I am not sure how a 225/40 would help alot with the front interfering with the wishbone. Wont that simply mean the tire will be stretched and angle down to rim more than it does now? Will this possibly lower the tire profile to give me abit more clearance? At full lock it looks as if everything clears the guards ok, its just that damn wishbone that makes the contact at the top of the tire. What do you mean when you say "low"?, do you mean like a lower profile on the tire. Again, please forgive my ignorance. As for th etractor statement, i wasnt really refering to the size of the tire on the rim, just the size of the wheels when viewing from the rear (im used to the standrad wheels) so they look gargantuan haha. Cheers for your help, look forward to your reply.

Hi INASNT, I was just wondering how you managed to fit your wheels? I have recently purchased some 18 x 10's, but didnt do enough research and after getting tyres and putting them on, have found out that they stick out way past the guards (1 & 1/2 on the back, 1" on the front) and the front tryre also interferes with the suspension wishbone. I got em off Vision R on ebay, and they were described as Rota GR6-2R, 18 x 10, 5x114.3 +15, Skyline, Silvia Evo ..................silly me! The stud pattern is about the only thing that fits nicely, and even then i will be forced to get extended wheel nuts as the originals dont have clearance between the rim and nut to fit a socket on. So......................no its a little late, I thought i had better finally do some research, and i gathered this skyline forum would be the ideal place to make a start. Is there any way i can do to make these work ? Is this even legal in Queensland ?, as i dont think I am allowed to have my wheels 1" & 1/2 out side of my wheel arch (it kind resembles a tractor now, and traction would no longer be a problem haha). And lastly, if i cannot get these to work, has anyone got a project car going that would be in need of a brand new set of wheels and rubber? They are white, six spokes, Jap looking wheels, and have been coated and cleared with white/silver irradescent pearl, so they look quite nice...................spewing they dont fit! This is the details i have: Skyline model = R33 GTST Wheel diameter = 18" Wheel width = 10" Wheel offset = +15 (pretty sure) Tyre size = 255/40/18 Modifications to fit = ??? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Cheers!
