Well i had RS2s put on mine about a month ago now, yes my tyres are quite small in comparison to yours (215/45/17) but wow they are much better than my old bridgestone grid IIs that i had on previously. I can say they have alot of grip in wet and dry and is a much smoother tyre. The only thing left is to find out the life of these tyres... How long should tyres last? :yes:

Thank SikII

I thought about it like you did..should have been the middle. Im running my 34GTT on 34GTR rims. Do you think it has anything to do with the offset? I like it when the pressure is on 36PSI, more stiffer sidewall but suffer a little on ride.

If im not mistaken, my last alignment the front chambers were around 1.7 degree negative. Is that too much?

Hope to pump up the pressure tomoro, you reckon it's possible to 38PSI? I know the limit is much higher but kinda worried about the tire wear. ;) Should i start to rotate the front tire left to right since they are on 235/40/18 atm.

i dont see how u have that much negative camber on the front if you suspension is standard... i think around 1 degree is ok for normal use, i would say that 1.7 would cause a bit of wear on the inside. not sure if the offset would make a difference, would have to ask someone else ;)

in relation to the tyre pressures, i generally have my t1-rs at 40-42psi. i find that 38 is about the lower limit i like them on, you will find they feel sharper when over 38psi. so dont worry about overinflation at least up to around 42psi.

i have measured tyre wear and they have not worn more in the middle of the tyre(overinflation) even with those pressures

Just fitted my car with Toyo T1Rs 225/50r16. They feel very squirmy in the rear end, might have to try increasing the pressures to try and firm them up a bit. They may also just need to be scrubbed in a little more, time will tell.

PS. i scored them for $200 per tyre which i thought was pretty reasonable, considering average rubber is only $40 or so less.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
