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.

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...

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
