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...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
