can you fit "19" on a GTST R33?

.......well can you with out the wheels scraping or rubbing when on full lock????

19" isn't the problem, as the rolling diametre should remain the same. In fact, some members of the forumn even have 20 " wheels keeping almost the same diametre.

I have never seen 21" wheels on a skyline, but that would have to be near the max.

Offset and width are the main causes of scraping

Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

I have 19's and the rolling diametre is different, the speedo reading also gets affected (lukily for mine, it became more accurate, as it was reading to fast with the std wheels)

20's would probably NOT fit on a gts-t, as the 19's barely miss the upper control arm joint on the front wheels.

I think he does know what he's talking about...

as rim size increases, tyre profile decreases.

legally, the size of the added rim/tyre package must be within 15mm of the largest factory option for that car..

a lot of people think that legally you can just go up 2" from the largest factory but its all about the final size with the new tyre/rim package.

you could probably get the 19's on it, but guards might need to be lipped to stop them scraping at full lock

SO what profile do you have on YOUR 19's??

My rims are 19x8 all round. My tyre profile is 245/35/19, and this has a 1inch bigger rolling diametre than std wheels. So to put his (and your) theories into math; after doing a few simple calculation, you will need to have the following profile to have the same rolling diametre: 245/25/19.

Are tyres available with a 245/25/19 profile? And who will want to pay hundreds more dollars for such a specific profile with very hard "ride" characteristics?

So once again i ask: Do you, or the other person, have experience with wheels and tyres? If not, do you really know what you are talkin about?

I have no "work experience" with wheels and tyres, but have had my 19's for about 2.5yrs and did alot of research and asked, the experts/fitters, alot of questions.

well going by what you've said, you're rims are un roadworthy on your car.

have you seen tyres that look like rubber bands ? they may not have the best ride or whatever, but if someone wants their car to be roadworthy, with massive rims (in theory a BA XR8 can have 20's and a BA GT can have 21's) then they're gonna need LOW LOW LOW profile rubber bands

1/ I know :)

2/ Are such tyres legal? And do ppl actually drive on these low, low, low profile tyres?

3/ We are not talking about FORDS, the topic specifically states R33, keep to the topic :)

yeah i know its about skylines mate, i was just making a comment...

they'd be legal because of how wide they are, which makes the load rating higher even though there is basically no profile to the tyre...

i think 25's can only be found in like 295's....profile that low looks so hot

Actually the wider the tyre, the lower the load rating - the perpendicular forces acting on the sidewalls, from the tyre face in contact with the road, will be greater the wider the tyre. As a result the tyre design demands a much higher stiffness sidewall for wide tyres. Therfore, generally the crap ride from low profile tyres is from two-fold effects - less sidewall profile to absorb shock, and stiffer sidewalls themselves.

Secondly, the lower the profile, the lower the load rating due to the same reason as above - there is more force being exherted by the tyre trying to negate the perpendicular force drawing the sidewall toward the centre of the tyre, versus foce trying to hold the tyre (and car) up in an axial direction. You will find that there are only a few 265/35 (GTR) size tyres that will meet the Nissan placard load requirements - ask Jamezilla who was defected for insufficient load rating on his GTR.

Lastly, legally you can only increase rim width by one inch (in Vic anyway). That would mean that the approx max increase in tyre width you can legally go is ~40mm, eg. for a R32GTR with factory 8" wide rims, the tyre is 225/50/16, you can go to a 9" rim, say R34GTR rim in 18x9, which is generally recommended to have no wider a tyre than a 265/35/18 tyre.

You mentioned that you can find 25 profile on a 295 wide tyre.

Do you know that the sidewall profile is a percentage of the width and not an actual measurement? ie:The wider the tyre the lower the profile to acheive the same rolling diametre.

It's nice to say "yep they'll fit mate, you can even get bigger" but make sure that you have experience or knowledge in the advice you give.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
