275 in 17 will be an extremely expensive tyre (unless you buy linglongkangwhatevah garbage). Just get 235-255 and be done with it (the 275's may buzz the guards on a lowered 32 anyway if you have lower offset wheels).

goto whatever your local tyre shop is and have a chat to them...

(don't buy whatever they try and sell you straight up)

you mentioned you had 17" rims?

the width of the rims will play a large part in what width tyre you can run

as well as the offset/s as to where the rim/tyre is positioned within the guards.

i believe 9" is the minimum wheel width for 275's.

quality of tyre is just as if not more important than width though.

if u look at what u need the car for and what u want to do with it then a tyre shop can get u started.

after that do some research on net and take a look at the sticky in susspension, braking and tyres.

good luck with it - 275's FTW :nyaanyaa:

they will be sitting outside of the guards i have 265's on the back of mine atm there to wide the rims are x10 to, i had to raise the suspension for them not to scrub, im def going back to 245's or 255's take my advice and dont do it. :nyaanyaa: i took the advice of a tyre fitter supplier, they dont have a clue.

Edited by 95SKY

depends on what you want the tyres to do.

for track i got a set of BBS wheels 18 x 8 255 all round

For street i got 19 x 10.5 Volk rims with 285 all round. Rub i bit up front prolly need to raise the ride height a bit and would be ok.

For drags i need some stock 16 x 7 GTR rims.

So basically nothing is gonna do everything well, just need to choose what there for. the 19 x 10.5 have huge dish and look sweet but really there just rice.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
