I have an R33 GTS-t and was wondering was size MT's would fit comfortably?

I know of a set with mags for sale - they are 275/50/15 with 15x6.5in wheels...

my drive tyres are 265/35/18 with 18x9.5in wheels & they just clear the lip under wheel arch (car lowered slightly)

the 275's are a good buy (as wheels this size are hard to pick up too) but don't wanna risk buying them if they don't fit...

does anyone have this size fitted to their R33?

any help would be much appreciated...

255/50/16 are best suited to your car, anything larger would be overtyreing the car. They also fit on 300zx alloy rims. can find them somewhat cheaper. otherwise 235/60/15 to suit a 15" rim.

Is that width doable on a 6.5 inch rim?

Have a drag day this weekend and a mate offered to lend me his 275 MT streets. When I realised my 15 inch rim was 6.5 inch wide I laughed and said thanks for the offer but no thanks.

I thought the 235 would struggle on the 6.5 inch width let alone a 275?

275 are generally 17" in MT anyway. should run 255 on a 7" rim.

The common sizes are as follows, 235/60/15, 255/50/16, 275/40/17

yep certainly is - i have seen them up close & there is no doubt about it - a

are 15x6.5in rim with 275/50/15 tyres

I have 275/40/17 MT ET Street Radials and a 17x9 rim. The MT Radials replace Nitto 275/40/17.

With the above size on a GTS25t you will NEED to lip the rear guards if you want minimal/zero neg' camber.

Whats the offset of your rims? Im thinking of running the 275s on 33gtr rims which are +30 offset but i doubt they will fit..

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
