R32 Rims

[jong]

hey still rolling on stock r32 gts-t rims..so onli 7inch wide i think..

whats the widest legal tyre size i can fit on them? i was hoping for 225? possible??

cheers..

[Simon-S14]

a 225/50/16 will fit no worries, stock size is 205/55/16 but not many places sell this size tyre, the 225 is quite common as its a commodore/ford size

[nissanskyrice]

yep 225's will fit for sure. i had them on my old 32 stockers

The standard GTSt wheels are 6.5". Like what everyone else has said, I wouldn't go any wider than 225's.

cheers guys

225's it is!

oh also..if u have the ATTESSA system, ie r32 gts4..is it realli bad to have different width tyres front and back??

[adam-__-]

As long as they're the same rolling diameter it should be okay.

If the front and back are different widths, apparently ALTESSA goes slightly retarded, so keep them the same or as close to the same as possible.

i've also heard of people complianing about the ATTESSA going funny just by using different brand tyres front and rear.

Yeah, the 'grippier' tyre should be on the rear. Wider should be on the rear, slightly larger rolling diameter in the rear also. Best just to get all 4 tyres the exact same (width, diameter, brand, etc).

225/50R16 approved rim contours are 6J" through to 8J" with 7J being the nominal.

width does not matter. DIAMETER matters. but of course if you have different width tyres it can be tough to get some that are different widths yet the same diameter. so in practice it's safer to just stick to the same size all round.

alrite thanks guys

i'll get all 4 225/50

[Rolls]

If they are only 6.5" Id go a 205.

I'm running 215s on an 8" rim and that's not stretched at all, you will get better grip/traction getting the proper sized tyre, wider doesn't mean grippier. Also if its awd get the exact same rims/tyres all round or the awd system can play funny buggers.

picked up 4 faulken 225/50/16's for 120 each!!

cheers!
