Hi Guys,

I had 18inch rims on my 33, and have sold them. I have put back the stockies with 215/60/15 tyres on.

But for some reason the front tyres rubs this. I dont know what its called but heres a pic of it. But when i had the 18's they didnt rub at all.

The thing on top of the wheel looks like it isnt touching the tyre, but it is actually rubbing on the tyre.

anyone had this problem?

this looks like a bracket for your Wishbone "control arm"...

stock rims shouldnt be allowing it to rub on it

some of the R33 rims use 205/55/16 without problems...

try checking the plate at the side of your door...it should show correct tyre sizes...

if other people have the same tyre as yours, then a more involved culprit may be a cause

is anyone out there using 60 as a profile on stock rims and have this problem???

this is probably the answer to your problem.

reccomened tyre sizes for the stockies are 225/50/16 or 205/55/16

i am using 225/50 all round on my stockies

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
