nice

Absolutely, ridiculously, crazy!

Anyone got pics of 33's (non gtr) running wide and low offset wheels with really large rubber? Pleaseeeee

[ssxRicho]

I'll have better pics of this on my car on the weekend. 9" +22 on 255 RSR (110% width?!?). Though, that may not be low enough offset for you.

Currently running 18x10.5 +15 rear and 17x9.5+18 front, not worried about the front because I think it will be fine running a 265/275 but I wanna know what the rear will look like with a 295-315 or something..... So anyone else have anything?

[VSPECT]

ask basti...his car is sitting on nice wheels...think they were off a gtr...looks nuts on the car...

You gonna flare the f**k out of the guards? I got rubbing on full lock with a 18x8.5 + 22 (pretty sure that's what my fronts were) and that was with a 235 front, and slight rub over big bumps with the 265 rears on 18x9.5 +22

how much are you gonna raise man?

imho get track rims with higher offset

[blags]

I would get track wheels except I'm back at uni so I'm getting f**k all money atm. My wheels are off too. I could easily fit the front wheels. Would need a slight flare to fit 295's to the rear but don't wanna flare to much, wanted to see pics though!!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you will need a serious flare to fit that kind of rubber man...

try going say 235/40/17 with GOOD rubber on the front and 265 on the rear.... you'll still have to raise/flare but not as much

I have a fair amount of room up front especially with the camber im running so I think I can fit larger rubber. As for the rear, I think I will need a flare but would like to get an idea of how much flare...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

imho... like this:

Met the most arrogant guys in an STI on the hwy tonight. Wanted to punch them in the face.

didnt see you? we were in a group of like 15 cars a lot of SAUers as well

[ssxRicho]

What kind of rubber are you going to run in 295?

Way way to large imo. Russ run 245(?) all round in KU36 and got a 38 at winton, I ran 235/255 and got a 38 at winton. Russ also ran AO50's in the same size and got a 34.

So as Hamish said, go for a better compound that is going to fit. 265 (R18) RSR's on the rear and 255 (R17) if you really want grip.

[blags]

I'm yet to decide what rubber. There is 285's in rs-r's available, but I heard they aren't very good.... So I'm still reading up on what's decent for the price range. Do the tyre places from the states deliver to Aus?
