There's actually 2 tyre sizes for the stock rims.

1: 205/55/R16

2: 225/50/R16

If you look inside the driverside door arch of a R33 there should be a sticker with this info on it.

The stock rims for S1 & S2 were both the same, so there is no difference.

Hope that helps you.

Cheers :thumbsup:

So your saying both of these size would fit the R33 stock rims ??

Thanks

both will fit, im fairly sure from factory they had 205/55

225/50 is the same rolling diameter

I'm not having a go at you but a profile of 50 would be 10mm smaller diameter than a 55 profile on the same sized rim, so how could they be the same rolling Diameter?

Im not 100% sure but i think this is how it works-

205*0.55=112.75mm

225*0.50=112.5mm

So the difference in rolling diameter is only 0.5mm, practically the same.

I wouldnk't run more than 205 on a 6.5 inch wheel. Wider is not better.

it' sjust not wide enough for the 225 tyre. 225 fits perfectly on an 8" wheel.

6.5 inch is fine for 225. The recommended width for 225 is 7 inch, this is coming from the tyre manufacturers themselves (Goodyear) and 6.5inch is within the range that they state. You know that 225's came on the stock 6.5inch rim from factory right? Also if you look up on Google about tyre and wheel widths there are some websites which tell you how to calculate the correct widths.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
