R33 GTR rims on GTS-T

[Robo]

Hi All,

Sorry to post another thread.

I upgraded my stock wheels to R33 GTR rims about 12 months ago.

I'm sure many of people have done this.

Front = 17x9 (235x45)

Rear = 17x9 (255x40)

As the front rims are 9" they scrub (only on full lock and on a slant in the road).

Thing is, I can not for the life of me find where it is scrubing... No wear marks at all.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Rob

Inner guard liner.

and I ran 235/45ZR17 tyres on R33 GTR rims on my R33 GTS-t for trackwork and they NEVER scrubbed, even at full lock...

Yes, it had height adjustable coilovers and full camber/caster/toe adjustment...

You probably need a camber kit to get rid of all scrubbing.

Thanks Merli,

Is the inner guard liner going to cause any problems/issues with this set up.

I'f I leave it can I get my self into trouble?

depends how badly its scrubbing, and how often. You could try heating the offending area with a heat gun or hair dryer, and pushing it back.

[Merli]

Probably more annoying than harmful mate, but it would probably be best to correct it...

You can try what slip suggested, or fit a whiteline handling pack which includes offset bushes to adjust camber, caster and toe settings front and rear, which would probably fix it too and give you better handling at the same time...

Thank you all for your advice and input.

So if a Whiteline handling pack could fix this problem for 17x9's could it also fix it for 18x9's (R34 GTR Rims) ?

I'm not sure dude... I only ever used R33 GTR rims on my GTS-t...

I always thought that it was known that R34 GTR rims wouldn't fit on the front of GTS-t and will actually rub the guard (and no the guard liner as in Robo's case)?

Again, I have no personal experience with R34 GTR rims, so this is only what I've heard.
