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...

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
