Fattest Tyres You Can Fit On R33 Stockies

[Astro Bear]

As per above, what are the fattest bad-boy tyres you can get on r33 stockies?

[subliminal]

Wouldnt go any wider than a 225/50 tyre. Ideally though 205/55 (stock size) is probably best, otherwise you will get too much sidewall flex when cornering.

as sub says, You can either fit 205/55 or 225/50. Quality 205/55 tyres will handle quite well, possibly be slightly down on outright grip compared with a 225. A 225 on the other hand has a lot of overhang of the tread width compared with the rim width. It gives you a sidewall with a lot of bulge in it and the rim can move from side to side within the tyre quite a bit. So your turn in for a corner will be poor by comparison, even if outright grip ends up being higher.

The other side of the coin is that 205s on a full size sedan look stupid from the rear.

The stock rims are 6.5" wide, so you're never going to get brilliant rubber on it. 225/50 is the maximum.

If you want decent handling you need to change the rims. The 6.5" width of the standard wheels will cripple any attempt to get good grip AND handling.

yeah i've got 225/50 on my r32 gtr track rims and they sit pretty flush with the endge of the rim, wouldn't want them on thinner rims

I've squeezed 245's onto 33gtst rims but I wouldn't advise it, handled like shit, was purely for burnouts but did use them at a skidpan day and it was horrible.
