R33 GTST Maximum Wheel Size

[pushead]

Sorry guys, I know this question might have been asked a lot of times, but i can;'t seem to find any info on it.

I am going to be purchasing some wheel and the size are:

Front : 235 35 18

Rear : 265 35 18

Can these wheels fit R33 GTST without rolling the guards?

Thanks guys.

Hey mate,

I have 19s on mine. They are 245/35/19. They fit fine and are apparently legal size on a 33. I was recommended against 265s since they might be that little bit too wide. The bloke i spoke to about it was not 100%, so they might fit.

Good luck! Let us know how they go...

Thanks for your help. I don't think it will be the actual rim size but the width might matter since your's are 245's.. what about 265?

oh i have standard shocks so not sure but if anyone else can helpp would be great!

thanks

They are tyre sizes you quoted not wheel sizes they will fit or not fit depending on the offset of your wheels

235 40 18 front 265 35 18 rear fit fine on mine but 255 35 17 on different wheels fouled the rear suspension.....depends entirely on your wheel offset

I've got 18x8s (offset +38) all round with 235/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear and everything is a perfect fit. I'm actually a little annoyed that I didnt go the 265s.

i've got 17x10 inch rims at the back and they definitely fit. 17 x 9 inch at the front, also fit no probs. The rear just misses the caliper and also misses the guards. My guards have not been rolled.

As said above, 2xx is the tyre width, not the wheel width. I am currently running stretched 255 rubber at the back. Nice and firm tyre wall

thanks for all the reply and help guys. much appreciated. sorry for my noobness when it

comes to rims. had a look at this site:

and was wondering wouldn't 265 rear on R33 GTST will scrape the guards? 35 is the profile if i am correct?

[OFENSV]

yes 35 is the profile

[MANWHORE]

it all depends on offset. You have to find a balance between scraping the brake caliper and the guard. Get one that fits properly, and 265 should fit easily. Like i said, i've got 10 " wheels. If i was not using stretched rubber, who knows what the recommended rubber is, 285? easily fits

Jay51 is right, it all depends on the offset. I have 18 x 10in on the rear with 265x35 tyres and 18x9 on the front with 235x35 tyres and they fit no worries at all.

legal once/if you get them engineered

legal once/if you get them engineered

Depends on the state the car is registered in though... Some allow you two wheel sizes, others only care about offset (and increase/decreasing the track width), etc. Check with your licensing authority.

We don't seem to be connecting with you??? You STILL have not quoted the offsets on the wheels you'r getting....so....on the info you have actually given us your wheels MAY or MAY NOT fit!!! it depends entirely on what the offsets of those particular wheels are. :headspin:

[pushead]

*punches myself in the face and scratches head* ok i get ya ill get the offset first
