V8 Supercar Slicks

[maccattack]

Just after some advice as to whether the tyres used by the V8 Supercars (280/40/17's) will fit directly onto a R33 GTR without any problems. I know there are a number of threads from guys/gals who have larger than this on the rears, but will they also fit on the front with no body mods and no rubbing.

I am also trying to find out who may make a 17 x 10 rim (preferably single piece), to fit these tyres - so far I haven't had much luck.....hoping someone might know.

Thanks :thankyou:

Thanks Sydneykid.

I'll check them out.

What rim sizes are you using on the race cars?

Do you see any prob's with these wheels & tyres fitting the R33 GTR? I thought it probably cheaper (in the long run) to get more expensive wheels due to the fact I can probably get the slicks cheap, rather than cheaper rims and expensive tyres. Was just a bit worried about sizing, especially on the front.

We use 17 X 10's on R33 and R34 GTR's and 17 X 9's on R32 GTR's. I have seen an R34 GTR with 18 X 10.5's.
