Guys I have just fitted 18" 9.5" +12 TE37 to my 32 GTR, the only issue is the tyres are 265 (they were on them) Now the car does scrub a bit on the left front when i hit a big bump, otherwise its seems ok.

What has anyone done to fix this or whats the best solution ?

Raise the suspention?

Take the plastic inners off and roll the guards

or put 245s on the front.

Thanks Gys I will post somes pics of the car as soon as I have them (i have tein super streets in my car)

Roll your guards, if that doesn't help, try to find out where it's rubbing and use your hammer! Depending on how low it is, don't touch it. Make the car fit the wheels. :banana:

Post up some pictures, I want to see how they sit.

Here are a few bad pics, its raining here today so I will get some good side on ones so you can see the gap better.

And Also can anyone tell me the law in regards to the tyres sticking out past the guards, is it the furthest part of the wheels in my case the edge of the tyre and the lip of the guards ? as my tre edge is about 1cm past the lip of the guard but not further then the flared guard itself, I think 245s would brind it in line with the lip.

That doesn't look too bad. Try rolling the guards first and if they still rub, just get new tyres or ignore it. haha. Don't raise the car.

As for the wheels sticking out law thing, it's usually anything past the guard is a defect. So if your tyres are out, but wheels are in, that'll still be a defect and vice versa.

And one more in the rain :)

Well the front tyres are about 40% so you recon leave em let em scrub out then get 245 all around, Does anyone have a 32 GTR with 18" x 9.5" +12

What size tryes do you have on them and if they are either in line with the guards or under on the back are they 245 ?

I am not going to lower it anymore, I like being able to get into most driveways, I will maybe look at either getting tyres or see who can roll guards at the Gold Coast and see if that can flare them out a little bit more (on the back) not sure where the sheels are scrubbing opn the front yet, will have to investigate.

Ok thanks Hey alex I have found the main problem my tyres are hitting the front of the Sideskirts, Really badly I drove it today and it basically bent the metal holding the front of the side skirt forward I have since bent this back and checked both sides, they both hit check out the pics to understand, What has anyone done to fix this, cut some of the side skirt off ? take the small front section off ?

Right hopefully problem is sorted, I pulled the 2 front guards off, grinded the sides as close as I could to the screw holes hammered the wall where the guards screw onto back and now I have about and inch clearence both sides turning the wheel full lock both ways, fingers croshed.

Bugger DMR, means I would scrub with 245, I just went for a spin and it seems better, Just scrubbing from the bumps now not when I turn, I might get some camber on the rears to see if I can get the tyre inline or under the guard so its legal, not sure about camber on the front will it help or will it get closer to something on the inside.

Can anyone tell me how many k's roughtly they get outa tyres when putting camber on them ?

^^Guess depending on how often you drive ya car. I got new tyres about 2 and a half years ago and need new front tyres soon. My cars not driven that much, for about 2 years only done about 37 000 k's.

I was thinking maybe to add rear adjustable upper arms (i thinkt hats what i need) to allow me to change camber so the wheels fit under the guards at the back, then I will see how bad scrubbing is and go from there. front scrubs under big bumps.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
