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.

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.

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...

Last time i checked with Blair's tyres:

245/45/r16 Toyo T1R for $230 fitted :w00t:

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...

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
