275/60/15 - $245ea

Would this profile tyre fit my R33?

Would you recommend them or the 40's you mention earlier?

I always thought more profile = more squat upon launch.

Nope, get the 40's mate. Like I said, these are much better tyres than the Nitto's I ran 1.6 second 60 footers on.

Put me down for:

A pair of: 275/40/R17's ($450) &

A pair of: 235/60/R15's ($380)

Total Amount (Excluding freight to VIC 3021) = $830

Please send me final price including freight. Plus your bank details.

Thanks Adrian.

Cheers,

Bill

Glad you like them. Let me know if you guys need racing tips on how to get the most out of them. If anyone else wants these tyres, they will be delivered in the new year.

Will I be recieve mine this week? :nyaanyaa:

Has something gone wrong with the freight?

hey adrian, is it safe to run these tyres with the space between the trye and the shock absorber spring seat being only 7mm or should i be using a spacer as you said i might need too.

Hi Mate. How much room is between the tyre and your outer guard lip? If there's sufficient room, it might not be a bad idea to run a 3mm spacer. Remember that the top of the tyre will lean in towards the shock on launch.

theres enough room for a 3mm spacer, mabie 5mm at the most. I might have to do that until I can get some adjustable upper arms and adjust my camber to positive 1 or 2 degrees. are you using 3mm spacers?

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
