Might need a little more detail, as in...

What size are they? Diameter - Width - Offset.

Tyre size? Diameter - Width - Profile.

Is the car lowered? Are they scraping the guards? Suspension? Inner Guard lining? Only on bumps? Front? Back? Only when turning on full lock? etc...

The rims are 18x8.5 and 18x9 +11 and im not sure on the tyres but i think they are 18 240x45 i think and it scraps on bumps, corners and full lock i cant really pin point what it is scraping on exactly, and the car is only 5mm of standard height.

For those widths, you'll need a larger offset wheel, something closer to +20 or higher. Your current +11 is too small an offset, which is probably making the tyres rub on the guards when you hit bumps because the wheel is sitting too far out. The lower the offset, the further out the wheels will stick...

The wheel and tyre widths will not be the problem, the offset will.

you know, at first glance I didn't notice the wider front guard beyond the flare. I love the pics from your old car collection.

Josh, we really need to know where it is rubbing, although from the offset it seems likely it is rubbing on the guard. That can only be fixed by rolling or flaring the guard, or changing to differet offset wheels.

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
