Skyline R33 Gtst Back Wheel Sticks Out!

[2BNJYD]

Hi guys,

I have a skyline R33 GTST 1996 Series II. And as the topic says, my right back wheel sticks out past the guard, which is also resulting in it scrubbing, only when driven over bumbs or turning fast. To give the quick story, basically, I came to this realization of this issue with this one rear wheel sticking out, after fitting a set of R33 GTR wheels, 17x9 +30 with advan AD08's all round, 235/45/R17 on front and 255/40/R17 on the rears, which me and an owner of a Bob Jane store, researched lots to get the best fitting sized tires, for these wheels, so I'm very frustrated! as i know these fit beautiful, as my other 3 wheels are beautiful.

Before these wheels i had a set of 19 x 8.5 all round, with 245/35/R19 on fronts and 265/30/R19 on rears - I had NO issues. But I have recently looked at old photos, with these 19 inch wheels on, and you can actually see that the rear right does stick out, but was never a problem, and couldn't even notice. So it has always been like that, just these new wheels and tires show it, and it also hits the guards, which took out slight slicing of my rear tire - so angry! Now I now that im noticing it now rather then before, as these tires are 40 at the rear, in height instead of a 30..well i think that any how?

Bob Jane has NFI what is causing it, went to my mechanic he originally thought a worn bush of some sort, but after he inspected the car, it is not that and he said it has to do with just adjusting the rear wheel(s), pulling it in with the slight adjustable adjustments, being toe, camber all that. he also said if a wheel alignment place says we cant adjust any further, then may have to put an adjustable control arm..? Obviously if i roll the guards that wont scrub, but it will still be sticking out, which isn't neat at all.

My mechanic, got a measuring thing, the one with that bubble, the leveler (sorry not sure of name lol) and standing it up against both rear wheels, they actually, ARE different, left side (which is sweet) bubble is in middle, right (which is the issue) the bubble is not in the middle, but away from the car...

Also, the car is not lowered, fully stock standard height.

Sorry guys if this is all over the place, first post, and want to try explain the best as i can so you have the best understanding.

Thank you very much in advance

either roll that guard, camber arms or smaller tyre.

my car is same, as far as i know all cars are like this its only ever so slight but when your going for a flush setup it can make things annoying.

strange that your at stock hieght having issues. Its not big deal imo and an easy fix.

wait for some other opinions they will likely be better than mine

hey mate, i see it's your first post but R33s aren't classic.

they aren't made before 1990/R31.

I've moved the thread to the suspension section.

You are saying the car is not even side to side, right?

If so...I know you've said you've been to your mechanic and a Bob Jane...but I think you should try something else. The geometery is based on simple measurements - if you can see it is out by eye, a decent suspension shop will be able to identify what is bent
