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.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
