Need some urgent help, i need some new tyres for my r33 gtr, i got some 9.5"et12 rims and have got good deals on toyo t1r's...in either of the above sizes...if money wasnt an issue which size would you go for, would i have any issues with either one of those?maybe 285's too wide?what would FEEL the best on the street.

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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
