Yes, they'll rub the inner guard liner on full lock if you have a lowered GTR, which really isn't an issue, as it's not touching the guard, just the plastic liner.

No rubbing at stock height.

Yup! They sure will...

A lot of the jap wheels come in 10.5 inches wide, but most people buy the 9.5 inch versions because they can fit 265 or 275 tyres on the 9.5 inch rims...

10.5 inches is a bit of overkill :(

Yeah, 10.5 is huge. What size tyres can u fit on 10.5's?

Also, when you say GTR do u mean both R33 and R34? And like nxtime says, will they fit R32's?

Hmmmm... Not too sure about the R32... They'll probably need a different offset.

My friend bought some "GTR Wheels", and they were the wrong offset and stuck out of his guards on his R32.

I'm pretty sure +15 offest will be fine for R33/R34

Just reviving an old thread. Will 275/40/17" tyres fit on the back of an R33 GTS-T (with/without guard rolling) ???

Secondly, has anyone ever shoe-horned a 275 onto an 8" rim successfully?

Thankyou.

Adrian

I had 265/35/18 tyres on the back of my old GTS-t with rolled guards and I had about 1cm clearance, so 275s should fit.

Keep in mind I had 1 degree of negative camber on the rear wheels for circuit work, so that would have given me a little extra clearance. You won't want any negative camber if you're looking at drags.

275s isn't a recommended fittment onto an 8" rim... I think they are meant to have 235-255 tyres fitted to them.

I'm just about to put 265s on 17" x 9" rims - but that doesn't help you much - Sorry ! :P

I will be able to tell you how much clearance I have left though - and I am looking at getting my rear guards rolled, if I scrape.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
