stock gtr wheels are 16x8", so widest legal wheel is 7".

AFAIK there's no rule about how wide the tyres are.

I am a bit confused with your response. If standards are 8 inch why would max legal be 7 inch. Also, this does not answer my question anyway. I want to know what the widest tyres (225, 235, 245, 265 etc) I can LEGALLY put on the GTR's 8 inch rims. I want to put 245/55/16's on all 4 rims.

Max is around 255.

 

It also depends on the profile of the tyre.

 

Do some googling for the usual bridgestones, yoko's etc.

 

I think you will find you will be pushed to find a 55 series 245 16" tyre.

The whole reason that I am asking is that I can definitely get 245/55/16 Michelins. I just want to know if they are going to be legal.

i heard something about rolling diameter cannot be more than 1inch taller than the std measurement. if you can measure up a stock 32gtr tyre then measure these 245/55's you can get and see how much taller it is.

my 2c: 245 is not a wide tyre on a gtr, and looks comfortable on an 8inch rim. Even if it is a bit tall, theres no way your gonna get pulled up for it. If you like these michelins then get em.

Sorry, I can't count, of course if its 8" stock you can go to 9" wide.

AFAIK there is no law about the width of tyres, only the width of the rim....so there is no "legal" max width for tyres.

As mentioned about you don't want the diameter of wheel + tyre to be larger either, but just pick the right profile and it will be OK

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
