Hey guys

I just needed to know if these tyres i want to buy will fit. The fronts are 18x8.5 or 9 and the rears are 18x10. The tyres on the front are 235's and the tyres on the rear are 265/35.

Will these fit my r33?? I have stock suspension but plan on improving it in the future.

Thanks

You shouldn't have a problem with that size, my 33 gtst is pretty low and i've got 265/30/19's on the rear and 235/35/19's on the front and they are sweet as, although i have G4 coil overs and very little suspension movement.

A friend of mine on his 33 gtst used to run 275/35/18's on the back and 255/35/18's upfront with just lowered springs and he didnt have any drama's either so u should be fine

Hi there,

Not too sure about your wheel sizes and offsets - I've got 275's rear and 255's front, 18x8's front and 18x9's rear. It never scrubbed but if I changed the camber they most likely would.

I have 19x10.5 on the rear with 265.Offset is 42.Dont have scrubbing issue.I wouldnt want to lower it as the tyre sits about 10mm away from the coilover.

Running 265/30/19 rear and 235/35/19 front without any scrubbing, although next time it gets new tyres itll be 235/30/19 in front, 'cause of the fact the the plastic innerfenders did scrub a tiny, little bit. Doesnt actually matter anymore since they flew off during a highspeed test, intresting experience btw..

Running on Nismo Type-S coilovers adjustable in strength but not height, you can see how low it sits in the pic from the gallery ;-):

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
