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 :)

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
