nah it's not low and the guards havn't been rolled to my knowledge

i dont think the offset has changed from the stockers.

the tread on a 275 will stick out roughly 20mm more than a 235. if uve got more than 20mm clearance between the tread (not the sidewall) and the guard then u should be alright. need pics.

holy f**k, thats a serious profile for a 19" on a car with relatively small guards. hope u got ur speedo re-calibrated as thats a massive change in rolling diameter.

R33's have small guards?

nothing about an r33 is small

[tacker]

On a R32 gtr i can get 285/35/18 with a 36mm off set on a 10" rim

Are you sure that wasn't on your 300C?

mine are 275/30/19s on stock suspension. im certainly going to need to get my guards rolled when i get new suspension.

is there a massive diff between 30 and 40 profile?? anyone with pics? id be interested to see.

cheers

pics of rear:

[tek_01]

the profile is the percentage of height compared to the width of the tyre

So..

275 / 40 = 110mm

275 / 30 = 82.5mm

id say that is a fair difference

BTW if your guards aren't rolled/lipped i think you will have troubles especially if lowered. 265 should be fine

This man talks sense.
