oor33sky_ Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I have an R33 GTS-t and was wondering was size MT's would fit comfortably? I know of a set with mags for sale - they are 275/50/15 with 15x6.5in wheels... my drive tyres are 265/35/18 with 18x9.5in wheels & they just clear the lip under wheel arch (car lowered slightly) the 275's are a good buy (as wheels this size are hard to pick up too) but don't wanna risk buying them if they don't fit... does anyone have this size fitted to their R33? any help would be much appreciated...

BezerkR32 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 255/50/16 are best suited to your car, anything larger would be overtyreing the car. They also fit on 300zx alloy rims. can find them somewhat cheaper. otherwise 235/60/15 to suit a 15" rim.

FATGTS-R Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I know of a set with mags for sale - they are 275/50/15 with 15x6.5in wheels... Is that width doable on a 6.5 inch rim? Have a drag day this weekend and a mate offered to lend me his 275 MT streets. When I realised my 15 inch rim was 6.5 inch wide I laughed and said thanks for the offer but no thanks. I thought the 235 would struggle on the 6.5 inch width let alone a 275?

BezerkR32 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) 275 are generally 17" in MT anyway. should run 255 on a 7" rim. The common sizes are as follows, 235/60/15, 255/50/16, 275/40/17 Is that width doable on a 6.5 inch rim?Have a drag day this weekend and a mate offered to lend me his 275 MT streets.

whatsisname Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I have 275/40/17 MT ET Street Radials and a 17x9 rim. The MT Radials replace Nitto 275/40/17. With the above size on a GTS25t you will NEED to lip the rear guards if you want minimal/zero neg' camber.

yummy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have 275/40/17 MT ET Street Radials and a 17x9 rim. The MT Radials replace Nitto 275/40/17. With the above size on a GTS25t you will NEED to lip the rear guards if you want minimal/zero neg' camber. Whats the offset of your rims? Im thinking of running the 275s on 33gtr rims which are +30 offset but i doubt they will fit..
