Ok lil bit of a dumb question..

I'm currently running 18's on my car with the rears width being 18x9"

the tyres on the rears are 265/35/18.. what other size tyres will fit safely.. IM looking to go with something a lil cheaper therefore attempting to shy away from the 265's if possible..

Just about to buy some tyres for my 9" most likely going 215/40, if uve seen my car u know I like the stretched look :P

Running a 235/35 on my10" atm, yummy yummy

Just be careful, some brands of tyres stretch better than others.

Same goes with rims, some allow MAJOR stretching others dont, its upto the type of bead!

wtf that is insane!

Which tire shop in Melbourne would do that for you!.. I need to know lol

Al, recommended Bob Jane in WaterGardens, took it to them and they fitted it, but were like no way they will go on, im like look at the tyre u took off(same sizes) and hes like, ok :D

Thats awesome man

Bob Jane refused to put 235s on my 9" rim lol

I was a bit suprised, hardly had any stretch

Dont tell me it was WaterGardens one? Cos im planning to use them again this time round!!!

Na na wasn't that one man lol

Western suburbs Bob Jane would probably do it, but not happening down here in the south eastern suburbs

haha, I go a springy shop to do my rears 275's on an 11" not as much stretch, plus they nankangs and dont stretch as good, thats why id rather another set of stretchy Falkens.

What rims are they anywys Zorb(34gtr?)? Do they have a nice chunky bead?

i found i lost grip with stretched tyres i had 235s on 9" rim...

if i was u, i'd just put 245s or 255s to save $$$

How is 235's stretched on 9 inch wide rim?

I am running 235's on my stock GTR rims and they don't look stretched. It had 245's on it before.

Running 235 on a 9.5inch rim would be stretching it :P

To the original poster, there is an interesting thread of stretching tyres somewhere in the forum, unfortunately it didn't have much debate other than about the "look" of it...

Also check Wheels sizes and offsets people usually mention what they've run before it might help but you will probably find its recommended to not stretch the tyres.

Regards,

Gareth

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
