I have 18x9 TE37s with 265/35 RE55s. The rim has a heavy bead and as such the 265s arent as wide as the bead I am paranoid about gutter rash. Go the the 275s. Yes you will get tram lining but it varies with the tyre choice,RE55s are bad for it but you cant beat the traction.

If you are going for Toyo T1R , there isn't much difference in 265X35X18 and 275X35X18, you can use either of them , 265's are 265mm wide and 275's are 271 mm wide , only 4 mm diff .

275/35ZR18 99Y 8.2 649 271 303 295 315 9.5 505 9.0 - 11.0

265/35ZR18 97Y 8.2 644 267 301 291 313 9.5 508 9.0 - 10.5

plz explain outer diameter?

265 would be the go...

i have experience to go with that:P

Circumference of the standard 245/45R17 = 2049mm

Circumference of 275/35R18 = 2041mm - Very close

Circumference on 265/35R18 = 2019mm - Too small

Circumference of 265/40R18 = 2102mm - Too big

good work brad. yes if you want to keep it strict then stick with the closest rolling diameter as stock. end of the day your probably not gonna feel a huge difference between the 265 and 275.

has anyone driven on 18x10.5s and 285 tyres? thats what im looking to get, running re55s or A048s..

Yeah, what do you want to know? feel the same as 265's on 10.5"... sidewall was a bit thin on the 285 compared to 265.. but both are fine.

what size tyres are you running for the front? Cos my rims are 18z9 for the fronts and the rears are 18x10s. Impul M1. Now i find the closest wheel OD ro wither be exactly the same depending on the tyres manufacturer is 235/40/18s and 265/35/18s. Mxxis Z1 and the falkens have the exact OD between these 2 sizes. I dont know about toyos though. Wait a minute is your rims the same size all around or you running staggered?

Not sure if you are talking to me stasis. But I run 18x10.5" front and rear.

ho ferni i was referring to NSTA but damn you are running very big rims for the front. It clears ok when its on full lock?

my experiences

275's on my 18x9.5 +12 TE37s, scrubbed on full lock, tracked down the highway

265's on my 19x10.5 +22 CE28Ns, wider wheel, narrower tyre, I like the stretched look though, so that helped my decision, but now no scrubbing at all, still tracks down the highway......any car with wide tyres like 265+ on the front will do this.

but in all reality its 1cm difference in width which means stuff all for traction......but I'd go 265's if I was you.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
