19s on an R33 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Top Cat · 22nd August 2008, 06:57 PM

Have a set of 19" x 9.5 SSR SP1s on the way, is anyone running these or similar, if so what is the best tyre size to go with, will I need any mods to the arches.

There`s only one person that i presently know of who runs 19`s. and thats Moleman, as far as i know you dont need to change anything. Not sure on tire size though. Possibly 265 or 275/35/19

I run Volk TE37's in 19" x 10.5 with a +22 offset on my R33 GTR & have no problems what so ever, no rubbing, dosnt catch on full lock etc etc... Hope this helps...

matt j · 22nd August 2008, 07:09 PM

You can run 275/30/19 but I run 285/30/19

Bandit · 22nd August 2008, 07:14 PM

I run 265/30/19's on my 9.5 X 19" Gram Lights and have no problems at all with rubbing.

What offset are your SSR's?

moleman · 22nd August 2008, 07:20 PM

As Matt says 285/30/19 are correct rolling radius and you shouldn't have any probs.

My 9.5s rub slightly on full right lock with a +12 offset.

pupsi · 22nd August 2008, 07:21 PM

I've got the exact same rims and size on my 33 with a +12 offset and I'me running 265x30x19. No mods to the arches. No issues with rubbing on full lock, they are absolutely perfect. What offsets are your wheels??

aferx · 22nd August 2008, 07:40 PM

It all depends on what off set you go for and how low your car will be.
I have 19" x 10.5 with a +12 offset and 285 30 19" tyres and i had to roll the rear arches
and they rub on the front on full lock but my car is quiet low here's a pic

Are you sure you want to put those wheels on your car with a +55 offset?? Aferx had to roll the arches because of the 10.5 inch width with the +12, look awesome though, with a 9.5 they would have been perfect but the dish would have been less.

+55? Get some mighty spacers

Marc

Surley +55 with have some issues with clearing the calipers, you'll need some serious spacers.

Top Cat · 23rd August 2008, 01:33 PM

That explains why I got them cheap then, I wont be using them on the track so they should be ok on spacers. Where is the best place to get spacers?

pupsi · 23rd August 2008, 02:46 PM

Make sure you get the hub-centric ones, Matty32 on here should be able to sort you out??
