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?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
