What about the Longtail GTR's wheel sizes? Anyone know?

I haven't had a chance to look - but might have a source. I will respond if I find them for you.

I found this: http://www.automobile-catalog.com/ti...long_tail.html
Don't know if it's accurate or not, but can someone put the sizes into a different format? I don't understand the one it's in...

The wheel sizes supplied via that link are essentially the same as what I provided for the LM/GTR wheel, just written a different way. I would not count on that being 100% correct for the longtails.

That's what I was thinking...(about them not being accurate) Do you have any other sources than the one I provided? Thanks.

I think it might be something like:
270/35-R18
345/35-R18

papa - Did you care about the wheel size or the tire size? Because you asked about wheels which are the metal part, now you are talking about the rubber part...

Anyway, I found my 1997 Gulf GTR press kit and the wheel dimensions listed within are indeed a match for the sizes already mentioned. I'll look for secondary confirmation of that from another source as well. There is no measurement supplied for the tires.

Their slick tires would not be sized like a traditional road tire - the sidewall measurement of a slick is not a ratio of the width, but rather their actual measure of their height in millimeters.

In addition to that it is possible to fit at least 3 different width of tyre to a given rim width with the difference being taken up by slight deformation of the sidewalls.

thanks you all for the response!
i have contacted MSO and we'll see how this pans out

97 GTR Tyre data,

Michelin,

Front :- 27 / 65 - 18 .......... Actual dia listed 646mm

Rear :- 30 / 70 - 18 ............ " " " 710mm

Tyre diameter and rolling circumference will vary, due to tyre wear and more important for the rears, wheel rpm at high speed increasing tyre dia which naturally effects the calculated gearing of the car.

Good luck I am sure you will get a good price for them assuming they are sound and not defective.

Thanks guys
