I have just ordered some WORK XD9's which are 18 x 9 in size, with a +20 offset.

If possible, I want to run 265's all round.

Does anyone know if 265's with that offset will cause me problems on an R32 GTR?

I know that 265's are wide for a 9 inch rim, but will it effect the handling a noticible amount?

Thanks

Tim.

You can even go to a 275 depending on the brand you're using. Just do the homework and check the manufacturers tyre specs you may be surprised.

Do not run more than 255 on 9 inch rims for the GTR32.

There might be some issues with the front tyres rubbing on the guards at full lock.

Also you will have better cornering with 255 tyres and you won't be hit by the higher price tags.

Did you get the gunmetal?...I have them (18 by 10 )on my GTR33 here is a pic.

Thanks for the replies.

Ronin 09 ...... So you have those wheels fitted to an R32? Do they rub on the front guards at full lock? What is the offset for R34 GTR wheels?

700HP-GTR33 ....... I got the Bronze ones. Get them tomorrow. Now just got that difficult tyre choice.

i have a set of 265s on my 18x9, they are baggy and feel a bit slow to react when turning... i'd stick with 245 or 255.... you'll get better handling, and in a GTR you don't need the grip of that extra 10mm, because you have 4wd.

All GTR Rims are offset correctly for all GTR's so asking about offsets aint gonna do you no good.

The trouble with a GTR32 is the width at the front needs to be the same as the width at the back ,so,

even if you can run wider tyres at the back you are not able to run them at the front.

That is if you want to keep your front guards standard.

:)

I was also under the impression that all 4 tyres on a GTR need to be the same width in order to keep the attessa system happy. If not, I would run 265's on the rear and 255 up front.

I could get both front and rear in 35 series so that the rolling diameter stays the same.

Can anyone else confirm ?

Thanks

Tim.

Tim, if you change the width and keep the profile the same the rolling diameter changes too... see the 'section' (height) of the tyre is a percentage measure of the width, so:

265/35 has a height of 92.75mm

255/35 has a height of 89.25mm

cheers

Ive heard this before, why do the front and rears need to be the same width, i would have thought as long as the rolling diameter is the same, you could run different widths ie: 245/40(f) and 275/35®

That's right, but best way to keep exactly the same rolling diameter is to use exactly the same sized tyres...

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
