Yes, they will fit, depending on the size of the tyres. The rears will be fine but the fronts may be a bit of a squeeze. Ive got same sized wheels on mine and it fits, but as i said its a squeeze in front.

Probably worth around 2k+ for the wheels alone?

you are kinda correct.

You need to maintain the same rolling diameter (within a few mm). The easiest way to do that is to run the same size tyre front and rear.

He has a 32 gtr as you can't fit that size wheel under a gtst guard without a lot of work

but i heard its no good to run different size tread on the gtr because i wanted to run 245 at the front and 265 or even 275 at the rears, have you got a r32 gtr or a gtst

dont worry about that within reason...when mine was a street car I ran 275/40 rear and 245/45 front and never had a problem

I am running 235s on the front, slightly stretched, but it looks like if i go much wider than 245, i may get some scrubbing problems. Im running 265s on the back no problem.

your rear guards are rolled, aren't they?

or are you running lots of camber?

cheers

nar my rear guards arent roller or anything, i am running 255 all round now and the car is perfect but the wheels are 17s, so i bought 18s and the tyres that im gona get are 245 all around so i think that should be orite, thanks alot guys, cheers tony

I cant comment on handling as the 18x9.5 rims are only my street rims. The tyres came with the wheels when i bought 'em so im just using them until they wear out. In saying that, I have seen several other people using the same combination of tyres on circuit 32gtr's (235/40/18, 265/35/18) so they can't have that adverse an effect on handling, since they have similar rolling diameters anyway. I use 235/45/17 RE55s for the track on 17x8.5" rims.

Ronin_09, my rears aren't rolled, and no massive camber, just some slight natural camber from lowering the car. Why do you ask? Have you had some problems with 265/35/18 tyres on a similiar sized rim?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
