How Wide Of A Tyre Can You Fit Under A R33 Sii

[SirSkyline]

I'm thinking of buying 2 more of the same style rims I have, but I want to go bigger then the 8.5/265/35 Ive got. I want to go 9.5/295/35's and I want to know if they will fit

Will they ??

im got 9.5" rims with 265 tyred in the garage i will post how fitting goes

[SirSkyline]

thanks mata. anyone had any bigger ??

[Col-GTSX]

I have 9.5" Volks on mine...

They are "JUST" legal... But not by a whole lot...

Remember its all in the offset too Jarad...

There is no way anything wider could be fit on, as its almost touching the strut tower and its just inside of the guard by about 10mm...

Why would you want to fit 295s for on a 9.5" rim????? 265/275 is the max I'd go...

[gtst25]

I've got potenza 275/17/45's on my series 1 r33. They're close to the guards but don't scrape - I doubt you'd get 295's under there although I'm not sure on what offset I've got.

Ive got 265 on my 8.5's and they fit really good.I want to go bigger because of all the upgrades Ive been doing and what ill be doing in the future

Edit: I have rolled guards so that give me 10mm's more

[markimak]

245s will fit 7.5 rims from memory..

can anyone confirm.?

[R334door]

i know someone who has 9''rim from memory and has 275's on 18's but 275 are only on the rear 245 on the front

[subzeroR33]

I have 285s

[SirSkyline]

No mate havent rolled the guards, not sure about the offset.

[mad082]

can i ask why you would want 295's?

wouldn't it be easier to just get some semi slicks in a skinnier size.

[HOT_R33]

I've got 9" Volk's on the rear of my R33 S1 with 265/35's. A negative 2 degree camber keeps them from scraping.

+42 offset as well.

[Col-GTSX]

I have 255 currentlly, guards are not rolled and i have 2 degres negitive camber, i could fit 265's...

I would not be able to fit anything more tho without rolling the guards... I suspect that 275 would be the legal limit and i suspect they would also be the largest i could do with out scraping...

[LightAssassin]

I have 255s on the rear, no scraping and everything standard (height/guards). Do the job just fine.

Doubtful that 295's would fit without some sort of modification.

Because I want big fat wheels on the back for when I get these body flares soon

[mad082]

Because I want big fat wheels on the back for when I get these body flares soon

fair enough.

me, i'll keep frying up these 225 16's and go and spend another $100 a tyre when they are dead.

265 x 35z R18 rear 265 x 40z R18 front. 8.5" rims, had to get front rolled as they did scrape a little on bumps during corner. offset +32mm or ET32
