I recently got my new wheels on they look great but on the front 1 of the wheels sticks out futher than the other.

I checked the wheel stats and they are both the same size width and offset.

I also checked the spacers i needed to see if they were a different size but they are the same aswell.

Has anyone got any idea what could be causing this to happen cause it looks silly.

Any help much appreciated guys.

How do you mean sticks out further? Like the wheel protrudes past the guard more on one side then the other? or does the wheel on one side stick forward more then the other?

How much do you reckon it sticks 'out' by?

On one side the wheel protrudes past the guard by about 5mm to 1cm the other wheel just tucks into the guard

different guards maybe? highly unlikey but ya never know..

have you swapped the front rims over to see if the result is different/same?

Ill try swapping them over tomorrow, but it just seems to be more than just a slight alignmnet.

I was in a accident and had to get a new front arm controller for the side that is not sticking out the guard could this have effected this situation.

With my old wheels i did not have this problem.

sounds like the car has been in an accident in the past. If your car is using the stock suspension there's no way it could be out..

unless your bushing is totalled and its causing your entire suspension assembly to be out of whack...

jack up the car and post up a few pics!

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
