Check the pressures though the tyre shops always leave them too low

Or all over the place.

The last time I got tyres put on, the shop had 2 tyres (in opposing corners) at 30psi, 1 tyre at 45psi and the last one at 40psi.

Good choice on the 235s. I always say that for an 8" rim, 235 would be the best all round width.

Every few weeks, a thread always pops up asking what the widest tyre you can fit on x rim is. You could probably fit a 295 on an 8" rim, but it'd drive liek shit.

Great thread guys. I think I'll get some of these FK451's for my R33. It needs a new set of rubber and new rims too!

Will 17x8.5 with +20 offset fit front and rear?

What width tyre should I fit?

Will I have any dramas fitting them to the car?

Thanks in advance guys!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
