Hi guys

Have just bought some R32 gtr wheels and et street tyres 255/50/R16 for my R33 gtst

the tyres are sticking out like around 10/15mm

wanting to know any way around it to make them sit flush with the guards or more tucked in without having to change the tyres or rims

car has been raised so no rubbing

If any one can help or any ideas would be great or something I can do or at suspension places to ask.

I've seen a few R33 with these rims/tyres and don't stick out at all but mine does.

Tyres are too wide for that rim width. Stock tyre for GTR rim is 225. Widest I would run on an 8" rim is 235.

Even so - I have a hard time believing that GTR rims will stick out on a GTST. You are the number 345673992th person to do so and possibly the first to have this problem. Are you sure that you don't have bolt on spacer hiding behind those wheels?

mate there is nothing wrong with your suspension on wheel choice, the tyres are just too wide for the rim.

assuming you only use them for drags you may be OK (don't know their rules), but on the street you are asking for trouble from either cops or the insurance company after an accident for running illegal and unsafe wheels.

Yeah this. Im not real sure why everyone is confused 'not sure why they are sticking out' etc. Its obvious the tyre is to big for the rim.

simple solution - buy smaller tyres or buy wider rims

Thanks for all the responses

I'm probally just gonna sell them off and buy a set of et street 265/r18/40 tyres for my 18×8.5 as I have federal rsr on my 18×8.5 wheels and wanna get the et streets cause i light them up in just putting my foot down in second gear..

Do use think 18×8.5 with the et streets 265 would fit nicely as the the federal 595 rsr 255/35/r18 sit tucked in but looks good.

Yea true not really daily

350rkw I'm making

What tyres would be good for traction as in for street tyres to give it a bit of stick as the federal rsr tyres just won't hook up at all just giving it in one gear, especially in second.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
