275 in 17 will be an extremely expensive tyre (unless you buy linglongkangwhatevah garbage). Just get 235-255 and be done with it (the 275's may buzz the guards on a lowered 32 anyway if you have lower offset wheels).

goto whatever your local tyre shop is and have a chat to them...

(don't buy whatever they try and sell you straight up)

you mentioned you had 17" rims?

the width of the rims will play a large part in what width tyre you can run

as well as the offset/s as to where the rim/tyre is positioned within the guards.

i believe 9" is the minimum wheel width for 275's.

quality of tyre is just as if not more important than width though.

if u look at what u need the car for and what u want to do with it then a tyre shop can get u started.

after that do some research on net and take a look at the sticky in susspension, braking and tyres.

good luck with it - 275's FTW :nyaanyaa:

they will be sitting outside of the guards i have 265's on the back of mine atm there to wide the rims are x10 to, i had to raise the suspension for them not to scrub, im def going back to 245's or 255's take my advice and dont do it. :nyaanyaa: i took the advice of a tyre fitter supplier, they dont have a clue.

Edited by 95SKY

depends on what you want the tyres to do.

for track i got a set of BBS wheels 18 x 8 255 all round

For street i got 19 x 10.5 Volk rims with 285 all round. Rub i bit up front prolly need to raise the ride height a bit and would be ok.

For drags i need some stock 16 x 7 GTR rims.

So basically nothing is gonna do everything well, just need to choose what there for. the 19 x 10.5 have huge dish and look sweet but really there just rice.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
