That's an expensive set of nice wheels. Don't spoil it by putting stupidly narrow stretched tyres like some people do!

Something like 285 35 may do the job. If the tyres stick out too much make the guards bigger don't shrink the tyres!

I ran 275x35x19 on my R34 GTR (work d9r 19 x 10.5 +15), which is mildly lowered. I couldn't go full lock without scrubbing on the inner guard linings on both sides.

I went down to a 275x30x19 tyre and used a heat gun on my inner linings. No scrub whatsoever now.

275/35r19 there pretty big dont think id like to go bigger scrubbing as it is

I understand - but then why go 10.5 wide if your not going to put the appropriate tire on there.

The below is 10 wide with a 285 - see how the sidewall is square - surely that will give the car better turning and handling - please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

From what i have read 275 or 285 is the recommended width for a 10.5 inch rim. 275 on a 9 inch rim isn't recommended as its too wide.

275 on 9in wheels are within the LVTA guidelines but the proof of the pudding is in the photos - OPs tyres are clearly stretched and the above 285s on 10 in wheels look just right.

I've got the same wheels offset etc, previously I had 275/30 no scrubbing now I have 275/35 19's nitto nt05 scrub the inner and outer guard. Then again mine isn't ride height, I wouldn't go anything thicker then the 30 series unless u want to do some suspension and camber work. My front is at 3 degrees camber to prevent my guards ripping again.

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian

    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
