Wheel/Tire Gap, anyone know how to fix?
Well I did some progress on my Skyline and noticed that some of the tires and wheels didn't correctly matched up. Then I found out that it was a gap and now I don't know how to fix it. Any one know how to fix it?

You can wrap some black electric insulation tape around the rim.

make sure the rim is smoothed on the outer diameter with a file or sandpaper.

Well the rim is pretty smoothed, but I think its the tires that is the the problem.

You could try to heat the tyre up off the rim. it might shrink a little bit. maybe with a hair dryer or heat gun. just an idea....

You'll have a hard time getting the tire off the rim of you superglue it on
