Hey everyone, didnt wanna start a new thread

Where do I buy federal 595's from?

I live in perth, so locally would be nice, but if it was a fair bit cheaper online that would be okay too ...

Putting them on ROTA G - Force + 35 offset in gunmetal grey :blink:

looking at 245/40 for the tyres, all 4, would rather be able to rotate tyres etc

cheers everyone

Highly recommend the 595's!

I got them about a month ago and they are an awesome street tyre.

Go with option1, even with postage you wont find cheaper, and extremely good service to boot!

What width are your rims?

I'm running 18x9 +35's and went with 255/35's. They are the perfect width for 9 inch rims and look sweet!

You'll find 245/40's have a much larger diameter than stock (595's however don't come in 245/35's) where as 255/35's are as near as dammit exact.

thanks for the replies everyone :blink:

the wheels will be 18 x 9, 5x114.3 +35 so basically the same as yours Bomba :P

our rims also look kind of similar hahaha

ill make sure to check out the 255/35, i didnt really want anything too thin though, 255 isnt too wide? i was recommended 245/40s by the guys at tyrepower etc to be a somewhat practical size

You'll find 255/35's aren't too "thin", as far as ride harshness I can hardly notice the difference between them and the stocko's. If you look at the comparison pic the side wall is still quite tall.

As for option1 not having them, they don't show all the sizes on the site. If you email option1 during business hours (or contact them through their thread on here) you'll find they'll either have them or will be getting them in shortly. They order frequently and if they are out it wont be long until they have some again.

Again I highly recommend the 595's in 255/35's, they fit spot on.

FYI tyres fit differently depending on brand, for example Kumho KU31's in 255's look the same as 595's in 265's (too baggy for 9inches).

Have you considered the Kumho's??? I was going to get them in 245/35's until I saw the 595 255's on my rims, mmmmmm sexy!

hey does anybody know where to get tyres fitted/balanced in perth?

a guy at maximum motorsport said that it'd cost 10-15 bucks (not too sure if he meant per tyre though ..)

and tyrepower up in osb park quoted me 160

whats the usual prices paid to get the rims fitted with tyres and balanced etc?

so far for a set of 595s locally itll cost me 235 per tyre .. 940 total cost fitted/balanced

but if i order from option 1 its 160 per tyre, and 115 bucks delivery, so a total cost of 755 for the tyres ...

if its gonna cost more than 100 bucks to fit and balance i really might as well just get em locally?

Thanks everyone :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
