i got some 18X10(255/45/R18) veilside rims that i really love but as you can see in the picture i got a problem

my car is a r33 non turbo, the wheels are close to the left that i wont be able to get side skirts plus it touches the suspension. my mate said to get the guards rolled out and to get wheel spacers plus nismo long lug nuts. is that correct? what i need is answers or pictures from people that had gone through this path or know something about ites from 25

i wouldnt mind my car looking like the last pic, but to me the rear fenders looks to over done. iam looking for a sorta stocky look.

if any one knows a website or purchase rear fenders for r33s pls reply.

or if intersted in the wheels i could sell them, they are 4 and 5 stud which i rare to come by with Veilside and got sum expensive tyres on them. all i am asking is $3200 for all 4 wif tyres. 2 of them are 18x11 (285/30/r18) and the other 2 18x10(255/45/r18). the guy i bought it from said you can fit tyres from 235 - 315 depending on your look . any questions or wanting more pics of the rims email at [email protected]

Hey mate,

It will require a few things.. firstly are the rims or tyres hitting the suspension ??

yes flaring the guards might be required, on a r33 this looks great because its a rounded car! you can get flares like above but will require respraying if you want a smooth finish like the above.

Now the cheapest and safest way to achive those rims in your guards and not hit is to buy some new tyres .. stretch them onto the rim and done it will fit :O

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
