    Max Tyre Width To Fit Stock 34 Gtr Rim On Stock Setup ?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated......

    My predicament ?.. I have a set of wheels on order ( 18x10 +15) but they won't be in for about 6 weeks unfortunately I am in desperate need of new tyres now.

    I am hoping to get some 275/35/18 but are unsure if they will rub without using spacers. From what I can see there isn't much clearance between the inside of the tyre and the upper arm as it is. ( currently 245/40/18)

    Any advice oh knowledgable ones ?

    Does anyone know where I can get some side skirts and rear pods sprayed in millenium jade ( also like to get my front bar touched up ( few small stone chips) I know the paint code is JWO. Admittedly I have not yet asked any panel shops.

    Is it hard to get or match ?

    Many thanks in advance

    gtr needs same width of rim so get them both 18x10 in what ever offset

    they need to be the same so u dont f*k up ur attesa system

    I always thought it was the rolling diameter of the rims/tyres which needed to be the same and that width did not matter. Obviously if the rolling diameters are different the atessa will be detecting what it thinks is wheel spin.

    Any ideas anyone ? Also on the offset +15 good or no good for 34GTR

    ooooooohhhhhhhh :ermm::);):D I want I want I want.

    18 x 9.5 ( Front ) 18 x 10 ( rear ) offset + 15

    I think/hope this should be a good offset for a 34 GTR .... Will drop in on Tuesday afternoon with a deposit and hopefully some reassurance that the sizes and offsets will be correct.

    am I on the right track with sizes and offsets anyone ???

    Write a letter If you have a decent driving record you have a reasonable chance at getting two of them wiped off. Probably not the first though....... If you already have a few fines you will be pushin $hit uphill.

    A mate of mine got off in a very similar situation 3 fines over two days in the same spot doing 56 in a 50 zone. He had only had one fine in 13 years prior to this though.

    Tried the steel woool up the exhaust on my modded Ls1 powered VU Ute...... worked really well ( reduced the noise by about 15% I would say ) until........... the bloke doing the testing held it at the required revs and bits of wool started flying out .... one large chunk actually flew out and landed square on his microphone stand....... he was far from impressed.

    The result a brief stint with a saussage muffler.

    Towing Track Car Behind Ba?

    Sorry mate, I only deal with manual transmissions and diffs :P

    Really though, I wouldn't be towing a race vehicle or road car with anything but a nice torquey 4x4. Certainly not if I was hitting the hills...it's a recipe for transmission/engine disaster IMO. Aussie cars are made to tow caravans and small boats. We have a 4.2 turbo diesel Land Cruiser which does the race car tow pretty well, but even with that we stay out of 5th gear...and when going uphill it's 3rd gear all the way.

    I would advise you not to use 5th with the 4.2 1hz unless doing over 110 -120kph ( even without towing ) and never ever when towing. These engines and trannys have well documented 5th gear issues.....awesome vehicles just stay out of 5th

    not that you ever really need it anyway.

    Nope, it's between Lorne and Wye River IMO.

    Ten odd kays of twisty goodness, both uphill and down.

    And seeing as most of the daytrippers stop at lorne, there less people doing 30kph while they look at the ocean.

    100% agree...... lorne to Wye / Kennet River is better........but my personal favourite stretch is between Kennet River and Smythes Creek
