Hi guys, just bought a set of 275/35R19 tyres and had them fitted to my rims 19x10 + 20. I am getting some fairly significant rub on full lock and at any time the car bounces while driving (oh yeah aso have adjustable coilovers). Would you guys say it's because of the 35 profile on the tyres or the +20 offset of the rims? Do you think if I went to a lower profile tyre (30) it would alleviate this problem?

What tyre sizes (and rim size with offset) are you guys running on your GTRs and do you get any rub? Cheers

ps. I am aware there is a similar thread already running, however I thought this would be easier for the 34 GTR owners rather than sifting through pages of forums, with this thread also specifically being about tyre rubbing :)

i haven't got a gtr, the 30 profile will only help in the same way as raising the car slightly, assuming the guards are rolled already, you could try a stretched tyre, raising it up, more camber or more offset depending on where it's rubbing on full lock

This ^

Raise the car until it doesn't scrub or roll guards

Just for ur interest I've got 18x10 + 18 with ku36 265/35 all around and these tyres are chunky with no stretch

Raised the car afew millimeters and no rubbing

This is on 32 gtr, ur 34 has bigger guards

As above it will be too low rather than offset related.

I'm running 19*9.5 ET2 (265/30 tyres) & I'm now getting a lot of rubbing on the fronts since lowering my car more

Really need a roll

Dunno if you guys have seen it, but i used the miata tyre calculater to check the tyre sizes. I had stretched 245/45-18 on my last rims, which were 18x9.5 + 12, and with the new tyres, the diameter/radius of the whole wheel is almost identical, which leads me to believe that it probably isn't the profile of the new tyres causing the rubbing and may just be the wider tyres or the higher offset with the current rims (+20 as opposed to +12 on the 18")...

Yep 19x10 with a 275/35 - what do you expect?

You can fit 18x10.5 with a 285/30, still have a little rubbing if it's too low - this is all the same stuff we went over in your other threads anyway.

this. You asked if it would scrub, we said yes, you didnt listen

What tyre/offset combos in 19" do you think would minimise this problem or is it inevitable? I remember guys with GTRs running 19s with no rub, just cant remember what tyres and offset :/

I think you're thinking of the wrong member. I don't remember asking this question anywhere!

First of all a 275/35 is a dumb size, there is no other way to put it. It's so wrong it's not funny...

Anyway you need a 275/30 - then you get an extra ~1cm to play with. It's MUCH closer to stock diameter which will stop your speedo being "too" far out. With a 35 profile tyre it'd be so far out it'd be ridiculous.

Either way you cannot have both (10" rim and a 275/35) if you want it remotely close to lowered.

You want lower you have to go with a 275/30.

OR

Going back to a 265/30 on a 9.5 and it's over 1cm and almost the same diameter as factory - which is what most people do

Only reason I didn't go for the 30 profile was that many people were saying it's really bad for the rim if you hit a pot hole, but I dont know seriously how much difference going up to a 35 profile would make anyway. Secondly the diameter of the wheels im running now are almost identical (only 2 mm larger) to the diameter I had when I was on 245 18s with a 45 profile...

:huh:

Regardless of 30/35 - you hit a pothole - shit is gonna get farked up!

You'll end up rubbing on the inner guard would be my guess.

As i said a 18x10.5 & 285/30 combo will rub with a moderately lowered 34GTR on the inner guards. Going 19s isn't going to make it any less likely even going a 275 which is only marginally smaller

Whether or not it effects rubbing but rolling circumference of the tyre is too big for your car. Buy the correct size tyres FFS.

Hey Anthony, can you please send me pictures of your wheels and where it rubs. I'm looking at getting the same wheels but with +12 offset and dont know if its only going to compound my problem. What made you go for the 35 profile also?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
