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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
