I have 9.5" Volks on mine...

They are "JUST" legal... But not by a whole lot...

Remember its all in the offset too Jarad...

There is no way anything wider could be fit on, as its almost touching the strut tower and its just inside of the guard by about 10mm... :)

I'm thinking of buying 2 more of the same style rims I have, but I want to go bigger then the 8.5/265/35 Ive got. I want to go 9.5/295/35's and I want to know if they will fit

Will they ??

cheers

Why would you want to fit 295s for on a 9.5" rim????? 265/275 is the max I'd go...

I've got potenza 275/17/45's on my series 1 r33. They're close to the guards but don't scrape - I doubt you'd get 295's under there although I'm not sure on what offset I've got.

Ive got 265 on my 8.5's and they fit really good.I want to go bigger because of all the upgrades Ive been doing and what ill be doing in the future

Edit: I have rolled guards so that give me 10mm's more

I have 255 currentlly, guards are not rolled and i have 2 degres negitive camber, i could fit 265's...

I would not be able to fit anything more tho without rolling the guards... I suspect that 275 would be the legal limit and i suspect they would also be the largest i could do with out scraping...

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
