Hi everyone, Just a little confused at the moment. I want to know what the biggest tyre size is that can be used with the stock R33 GTR wheels. I believe the stock rims are 9" wide and I've heard mixed response from people, some say you can fit any size!!!

Basically, I want to fit the REARs with tyres as big as possible on the stock rims, something like 275 or 285! Tyres on car atm are 245/45/17.

Will I have to get a different profile, like 275/40/17? will the ride height be the same?

Thanks

doesnt GTR require front and back to be the same or it messes up the ATESSA system?

hey, thats what I had in mind aswell. Damn, no shortcut of having phat tyres at the back, like you see on some supras! In that case, will the 275 or 285 fit the stock rims all round? I was told it will fit but no point in doing it because the extra rubber will only be wasted without use! Can someone please correct me on this?

Thanks

Rolling diameter must remain the same for the computer to not be confused.

Have a look at the tyre manufacturers websites, for example most semi slicks in 255/40/17 are for 8-10" tyres, but for the ones I just bought there 8-9" only.

I think you could do 265/40/17 if you really want to I'm not so sure about 275/40/17...(or why you would want to :)).

Hey, I wanted something around 275 so it looks fat and chunky from the back. I guess its better to just get some new rims. Remember seeing this R32 GTR with 20in G-max mesh rims and had 300mm tyres :blink:

Time to save up for some rims them :)

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
