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!

    • This is amazing. Love that you’re giving the boys an intro to cars and off the screens. They probably have an insta for the car and build posts on TikTok for their mates.
    • It is.  Your car works fine with the tank full. If you drive like a Nana it works fine.  You give it a boot full with half a fuel tank, you get surge.  It 100% is a fuel surge issue. Maybe have a look at installing a Hydramat if you don't want to install a surge tank.  https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/
    • Hanging out in Perth for a conference. Asked for a room with a view… got a view of Bustdown Festival   might stroll down and go say hi to Spotto and some of the hoonfluencers
    • It’s definitely just a problem with my car, as there’s bound to be plenty of 4-600hp cars out there running a factory tank with an upgraded pump and or hanger
    • Ah right, that would be a nightmare as I only get 150ish kms before it starts having issues/half a tank, and yeah if I don’t get into it I could run it completely dry, it’s only when it comes into boost it will start to break up, it also does it in every gear which leads me to believe it isn’t fuel slosh/surge as 4th and 5th shouldn’t have enough power to cause an issue. It’s got me stumped 🙃
