That's an expensive set of nice wheels. Don't spoil it by putting stupidly narrow stretched tyres like some people do!

Something like 285 35 may do the job. If the tyres stick out too much make the guards bigger don't shrink the tyres!

I ran 275x35x19 on my R34 GTR (work d9r 19 x 10.5 +15), which is mildly lowered. I couldn't go full lock without scrubbing on the inner guard linings on both sides.

I went down to a 275x30x19 tyre and used a heat gun on my inner linings. No scrub whatsoever now.

275/35r19 there pretty big dont think id like to go bigger scrubbing as it is

I understand - but then why go 10.5 wide if your not going to put the appropriate tire on there.

The below is 10 wide with a 285 - see how the sidewall is square - surely that will give the car better turning and handling - please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

From what i have read 275 or 285 is the recommended width for a 10.5 inch rim. 275 on a 9 inch rim isn't recommended as its too wide.

275 on 9in wheels are within the LVTA guidelines but the proof of the pudding is in the photos - OPs tyres are clearly stretched and the above 285s on 10 in wheels look just right.

I've got the same wheels offset etc, previously I had 275/30 no scrubbing now I have 275/35 19's nitto nt05 scrub the inner and outer guard. Then again mine isn't ride height, I wouldn't go anything thicker then the 30 series unless u want to do some suspension and camber work. My front is at 3 degrees camber to prevent my guards ripping again.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
