7heavn Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Took the car out to WSID last night but I'm finding it hard to get the car of the line with 19inch volks and 30 profile rubber . What are my options for wheels and tyres to get the 60ft down ?.

2rismo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 4 x 32 GTR rims and 4 x 255/50/16 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. If you can organise the wheels I can hook you up with the rubber.

2rismo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I must be looking in the wrong place or searching for the wrong thing. I couldn't find one set.

7heavn Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 300zx wheels will probably do ?? . I'm going to try on a 16inch rim tommorow I've got my doubt about it clearing the brakes though I did speak to Jim at CRD today and he reckons they will fit on .

They'll work too and be cheaper but they're heavier. Prob won't make much of a difference but every little bit helps. They're 16 x 7.5" as opposed to 16 x 8" for the GTR rims.

Tomei_33 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 so 16 x 8" would be the rims to go for? what kind of weight would you be looking at / what do 32 gtr rims weigh? cant other rims work just as well? eg 17x8?

7heavn Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 So now I'm in abit of a ruck if the 16's won't clear the brembo's .

2rismo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 If you can fit a 275/40/17 under there then yes, no problems. And they're awesome.

some_cs_student Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 What about R33 GTR rims? 17*9 and lightweight (roughly 9.5KG). Not that cheap to buy though....

2rismo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 33 GTR rims would've been my suggestion unless you already have some?

Tomei_33 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 how long do the ET street radials usually last? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225549-best-strip-wheel-and-tyre-combination-for-my-34-gtr/#findComment-3982867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2rismo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 How long is a piece of string? Most racers will get easy one season out of them - say, six events with 5 passes per event. But that's only if they're turning them bloody hard in the burnout. If you're weak-sauce like Paulie D (sorry Paul, you know I love it) and you only smoke them when the cameras are rolling, then they'll last a lot longer.
