hey i have a few options for my r33 s1 gtst,

i found out my wheels have negative camber on them to that they would fit in the arches, the tires are 265/35 x18,

my tires will always wear on the inside really bad if i dont straighten them up, should i get it raised an a camber kit put on to bring them out straight or get the arches rolled so they will fit a bit better

all help appreciated

guards rolled and maybe flared a little?

i have the same problem atm on a 33 with similar tires except in 19" and im looking into getting my rolled and slightly flared. But wouldnt mind pictures as a reference to how it looks on a R33

i guess it depends what your offset likes, mine puts my tires pretty much in line with my guard so i need to probably flare them a touch but yours might not sit out as much

This really comes down to personal choice and what you're trying to achieve with the car.

I had the same size wheels and tyres and I opted for -1.5-2 (adjustable up to -4) degrees camber and some very slight flaring. This gave me enough camber for higher speed turns but didn't destroy tyres 'too' quickly.

If you do go the roll/flare route get a decent panel shop to do it as the quarter panel sheets join under the lip of the guard and it's also very easy to crack the paint on the lip inside and also where the quard folds in under the wheel arch.

Good luck ;)

cars naturally get negative camber when they are lowered, the lower you make it the more neg camber you get..

i have adjustable camber arms and got my guards rolled, so i could fit my rims with out too much neg camber after i put my coilovers in

i got mine done professionally at West Coast Wheels, but I'm not sure where is reputable in other states.

    • Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛
    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
