With the right offset and absolutely NO lipping or rolling of the guards whatsoever, it is absolutely possible to fit 275/40/17" Nitto NT555R's under the guards of your R33 GTS25t.

These are on a 17x8" rim and no i don't know the offset yet.

275 means 27.5cm wide, 40 means the height is 40% of 275 = 11.0cm high. 17 is the diameter of the rims they fit.

I think the trick for the 275s must be in getting the right wheel offset, I had to roll my guards to get 265 to fit without rubbing under load

yeah, well i have this faxed bit of paper - they want measurements:

rear:

hub's face to outer gaurd distance

hub's face to inner most contact point such as spring etc distance

front:

hub face to inner lip of gaurd

hub face to closest steering/suspension

then they ask about offset - the guy said somehting about a offset of 20? so i will have 5" inside of face and 3". He reckons the tyre would almost be flush with the side?

i know **** all about this shit...bah

maybe i should scna the fax :)

    • 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.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
