I have 265/35 R18'S on mine, there is a little bit of room left and mine is lowered slightly, so you could always try. Just ask if the seller whether you can return them if they don't fit.

The other thing that is REALLY important is the radius of the tyres, the front and back have to match exactly otherwise you will have problems with the 4WD. You should check this between those these new ones.

slim matt: when you say radius do you mean the rim its self cause they are both 19" i think my biggest worry is the offset. Your ones have a lagger offset of +35 does that make them sit in more? and if these new ones are +22 does that mean they sit out more? and your saying yours have only a little bit of space left does that mean that mine will have shit all left?

the more negative offset, the further the wheel will stick out the guard.

so +22 will stick further out than +35, but +35 is a tad to much posive offset anyway for a gtr, that would suit a gtst

since the gtr has wider guards you need less offset to "fill" the guards, so with your gtr a +22 offset wheel that should sit fine.

imo something around the +10 to +15 offset would look good, without getting you into trouble

the radius is the rolling diameter of the rim and tyre wall height. Since your running both 19 inch rims just make sure you match up the correct profile if your having different width tyres cause the tyres wall height is determined by the profile and width of the tyre. If your not sure just run it past a tyre shop and they make sure its all sweet for you

cheers

265 is the width of the tyre in mm, 35 is the percentage of the width that the wall equals, ie 95.4mm. R means that they are radials and the 18 means the rim diameter in inches.You are worried about rolling circumference of the tyre(radius), if they differ between front and rear you have probs with 4WD.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
