go check at a tyre shop, I'm pretty sure 225s are the max u can run on a 7" wide rim. 7.5" wide and u can run 235s legally. I had this problem when i bought some 2nd hand 235s for my 17x7 and tyre shop said max I could go was 225.

It would be great if someone with the knowledge could post max recomended widths for each rim size. Im not talking about the max that will fit im talking in regard to the widest you can go before handling is hampered.

I dont have any idea what the actual widths should be but something like this

7 = 225?

7.5 = 235?

8 = 245?

8.5 = 255?

9 = 265?

9.5 = 275?

10 = 285?

10.5 = 295?

cheers

i know you can go 245's on a 8" rim. i have 225's on my stock r33 rims and the sidewalls are on a bit of an angle. i think 235's would be pushing it.

what are the rims off? 18x7 sounds like the size of a wrx wheel. in which case they have a different stud pattern to skylines. they are only 5x100, not 5x114.

What stud pattern doesn't have any relevance to what tyre u can run on a wheel.

Use this calculator. It will tell you the range of widths a particular profile tyre can go on.

thanks guys just picked up the rims they were brand new speed lite rally something or other with the correct stud pattern, and yes 18*7, called the tyre shop today also and they said 225's are ideal and 235 will fit with a slight bluge of the tyre so i'm goin 225 on the front and 235's rear

no more replys needed, thanks 4 the help!

i know pattern doesn't have relevence to what tyres you can run, but it does have relevence to whether the rim fits on the car. was just making sure that he wasn't buying rims that wouldn't fit.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
