They fit your car perfectly, but scrub? :D

One reason why they could be rubbing is because of shitty offset. Try using some spacers to make the wheels closer to the guard and clear the suspension.

Or... get smaller tyres. How wide are the wheels?

Yep sounds like an offset issue more than anything else.

225's sound very very small for a 20inch wheel. I've got 19's on my V35 and have 245 up front on an 8.5 wide wheel, and 275 at the back on 9.5 wide wheel.

i have this problem all the time if shes not ready for it.. what i do is grab a whole bunch of lube and....

oh you mean rims. try a camber kit.

are your guards rolled?

i had to roll my guards when i fit 19's.

What's the diameter of the wheel got to do with its width?

There are plenty of cookie cutter rims out there, thanks in no small part to people like this who feel the need to drive on massive diameter wheels, but whose guards don't fit wheels of a reasonable width.

If you have a look at the Temple of Chrome's web site, most of their 20" rims are 8.5" wide. A 225 width tyre on an 8.5" wide rim will only be slightly stretched.

the 20's are a 225, there not that wide, i have 19's on my car with 235 and they dont scrub, the 20's on the other hand the tyres start to hit the suspension, but the wheels slide on perfectly, i know of a person that had TOLD me that he put 205 or 215 on his skyline to make them fit....i dont know if it is true, another thing i dont have to roll my guards as my car is still at standard height....that is why my 19's fit perfectly...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
