R32 Gtr Wheels

[gun32gtr]

hey im getting ome 32gtr stock wheels as 18s are 2 dear to run with the price of 255x18x35.so was wondering what max width tyre should be run on these wheels.id like them to be still a little fat...

also as ill be doing some racing i thouht gtr rims be much better than the 18...(tyre wear and price)

i think i seen some 16x245x45 tyres but could not find a price

32 gtr stock rims are 8" +30, a 235 sits very even/square on an 8" rim

I used to run 255/45/16 on mine, but now I run 245/45/16 as its a more common size and cheaper. The difference in rolling diameter is negligible. 225/50/16's sit square with the rim.

what brand and price are the 245 mate

[nisskid]

my pick would be some 235/50's, 235's would be a fair bit more common that 245's, profile wise im not sure when it comes to how common they are. but i guess if u wanted to u could run 255's, would flop around a fair bit through the corners tho.

[funkymonkey]

yeah I got rid of the 255's after they started doin exactly that... maybe the sidewalls of the tyres I used weren't strong enough.

the 245's I've got are Falken FK-451, dunno how much I paid for em tho, been a while since I got em. They're a common size on older HSV Commy's etc so most tyre shops have em in stock at some branch or other in various brands.

either 225 or 235 is the right size for the 8inch wide standard 32 GTR wheel. I would suggest the 225 or even a 215 is fine. anything above 235 is too wide.

my mate can get me some good continentals for about 180each..225x16x50.also i priced the goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3 for 235 each anyone had these and liked them...

also ill have 18x255x35 for sale or swap for some decent 16...

225/50s will be perfect for the stock GTR rims.

Last time i checked with Blair's tyres:

245/45/r16 Toyo T1R for $230 fitted

otherwise Hankook Z212 RS-2 come in that size too which is cheaper..

but i'm only going to be using them for the drags/street only (for rears) on circuit i usually run another set of rims with better fitament tyres.

yeh 225x50x16 it will be. i think 245 would be good for drags but bit sloppy in sidewalls for track...

I don't know if you have already bought but Brigstone potenza adrenilines are the best street tread sport compound tyres i've driven on and cheaper than the above mentioned options.

[gun32gtr]

Just wanted to add that R32 GT-R's come stock with 225/50/R16's. And that the last pair of tyres i bought were continentals and they are very good. Lot's of grip and very quite.
