Hi guys

Have just bought some R32 gtr wheels and et street tyres 255/50/R16 for my R33 gtst

the tyres are sticking out like around 10/15mm

wanting to know any way around it to make them sit flush with the guards or more tucked in without having to change the tyres or rims

car has been raised so no rubbing

If any one can help or any ideas would be great or something I can do or at suspension places to ask.

I've seen a few R33 with these rims/tyres and don't stick out at all but mine does.

Tyres are too wide for that rim width. Stock tyre for GTR rim is 225. Widest I would run on an 8" rim is 235.

Even so - I have a hard time believing that GTR rims will stick out on a GTST. You are the number 345673992th person to do so and possibly the first to have this problem. Are you sure that you don't have bolt on spacer hiding behind those wheels?

mate there is nothing wrong with your suspension on wheel choice, the tyres are just too wide for the rim.

assuming you only use them for drags you may be OK (don't know their rules), but on the street you are asking for trouble from either cops or the insurance company after an accident for running illegal and unsafe wheels.

Yeah this. Im not real sure why everyone is confused 'not sure why they are sticking out' etc. Its obvious the tyre is to big for the rim.

simple solution - buy smaller tyres or buy wider rims

Thanks for all the responses

I'm probally just gonna sell them off and buy a set of et street 265/r18/40 tyres for my 18×8.5 as I have federal rsr on my 18×8.5 wheels and wanna get the et streets cause i light them up in just putting my foot down in second gear..

Do use think 18×8.5 with the et streets 265 would fit nicely as the the federal 595 rsr 255/35/r18 sit tucked in but looks good.

Yea true not really daily

350rkw I'm making

What tyres would be good for traction as in for street tyres to give it a bit of stick as the federal rsr tyres just won't hook up at all just giving it in one gear, especially in second.

    • 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?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
