Hi guys,

I got R34 GTS-T rims on my R33 GTS-T. I am looking for new tyres to handle my power (260rwkw)

Does anyone know they size of the rim? obviously they are 17", but how think are they? are they 8 inch?

Also, what's the thickest tyre I could place on them without compramising crap handling, (Tyre beeing too wide for the wheel)? 235? 245?

Cheers

R34 GT-t, not GTS-t. and i think they're about 7" wide, wouldnt be 8, and depends on what sort of tyre, if you want a big soft drag tyre you could probly go wider than a low profile circuit style tyre, but should be able to get 265's on there without too many dramas (depends on your own standards)

it's more than tyres that provide traction.

and having 235's over 225's will make bees dick of a difference.

with 260rwkw, and foot to the floor in 1st 2 gears will probably end up with a smoke show with any tyre.

your suspension plays a big part in traction.

Tyre width also doesnt matter too much when u have IRS... in the straight line that is.

If u want straight line traction, grab some adjustable camber tops & adjust more positive camber, that way when the car squats, more rubber will surface the ground.

With my R33 whether i had 285's on the rear or stockies, my tyre marks were still motorbike tyre width... this howver improved heaps once i put coilovers in as there wasnt as much squat.

fit some 245/40's on there and a camber kit. you'l be right.

at the end of the day you are running street tyres with big power. so wheelspin is expected

good luck

What's the best 235 45 17 tyre for under 200? I know that they don't make toyo TP-G anymore.

Cheers

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
