hey Joe u thought about putting bigger tires on the back then on the front.

So if u can get 2 good tyres put em on the front and put new ones on the back till u "wear em in" :burnout: then do it again:)

Hmm maybe this is me thinking out loud:confused: But im pretty sure u can put wider tires on stock rims. Gradenko did it:uh-huh:

Boostzor, i don't think ATESSA likes having different sized tires front and rear, it wants identical widths all the way around.

I just found out today that I need new tires as well (rears). Tire place I was at (Ian Diffen Canning Vale) had 2nd hand tires to suit out rims for $35 each. Might want to try that pva, if half tread is all you need.

Jesus Joe, that was weeks ago... they may have them still but if they don't, plenty of other tyre joints sell 2nd hand rubber. Ring around.

Don't you think you should replace them soon? If nothing, it'll save you from a yellow sticker and a $75 fine.

Haha :bahaha:

Joe, those tyres you have on are waaaaaaay to bald, i swear those front tyres have no corners on them and are smooth. I saw them months ago and needed changing then, lol. Its no wonder it gets so sideways around roundabouts, in the dry. It's not worth risking it, especially when you need those tyres for braking. Unless you can find some half decent 2nd hand rubber, i say fork out for some new tyres :P

insurance doesnt cover you if crash with non-australian spec tyres, its considered as unroadworthy

joe if you wonah be stingy just go out at night and take the tyres out of the tyre shops bins (yes this has been done before) but if i were you id just buy some 205s they cant be that expensive

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
