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..

    • This is aem disk setting in aem tuner and still 180 dgree off or ignition on exhaust cycle is it from cas it self as cas seems wouldn’t fit in cam shaft if wrong position and wiring been verified any ideas 
    • Oh yeah that would work excellent. Should be the same diff housing & everything. Shoot me a text or call me 260-750-2246 -Cody 
    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.     
    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
