^you will be more likely to rub the tyres due to increased diameter and speedo will also be out. I run 265/35/18 and they are just about right. If I was to go 275 or bigger I would be going with a 30 profile. Use a tyre size calculator on the webz and try to match the factory rolling diameter as close as possible with your new size.

According to ADRs and other stupid rules your apparently not allowed to fit a rim greater than 1" width and 1" diameter over stock. Sigh. I guess that's why most of us keep a set of some sort of stock rims just in case. but hey who could be farked getting defected.

What's the issue with increasing rolling diameter. I though what's important was to keep all 4 tyres the same size for the awd

yep, you need to keep all 4 wheels the same rolling diameter, you also want to keep this rolling diameter the same as factory.

your answer has been given, if your at stock height then it will fit but will not be ideal, your gonna have an incorrect speedo

Apart from incorrect speedo the 40 profile will it rub under normal driving conditions?

I believe we have 2" increase as the 33 ways more than 1400kg

FWIW guys, at least in SA, they do not actually still go by those old rules regarding a fixed number of inches increase in wheel width or wheel diameter. So long as the % change in rolling diameter is inside the limits you can do any diameter change you like. So that comes down to availability of suitable profile tyres. Same with the width. So long as track is not out of spec and wheels/tyres do not poke or have interference problems, you can have as many inches extra as you like.

Of course, practically this often works out to being not much difference to the old blanket rules anyway.

So while I know this to be the case in SA, it may or may not be in other states. But it was my understanding that most of the other states are being equally realistic about it these days. The old rules were written in simpler times.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
