Hey guys. Just purchased some 350z 18's and would like to know what the

widest tyre i could go on the rear due to the offset they have. I was hoping

to get a 265/35/18 for the rear's but not sure if i would run into any trouble.

Any help would be appreaciated. Thank's :happy:

hey dude i have 350z 18s on my r33

i run 235/40R18 on the front

and 255/35R18 on the back

they are 8 inch wide

i tried to put 275s on the back but where to big scrubed out

all the time

might be lucky with 265s but 255s fit sweet

hope this heaps

This help's alot. Thank's heaps BEN O.. :domokun:

BEN O do you have traction problems with 260kw?

Also what type of tyre's do you have. Thank's

bridgestone potenza so3 on the front, very expecive

Falken ziex on the rear bout $250 each.

less than 50% tread no traction reving out in second gear

otherwise 255s give excelent grip.

Hey Duncan. Do you think i will fit 265's under the 33? Also what sort of price are the Falkens you have.

Ive rung a couple of places and the options so far are: Maxxis Mav's $318, Sumitomo $310 and the

Hankook K104's for $300 each. All these were in a 265/35/18. :laugh:

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
