Hi guys, I'm getting my V35 coupe complianced. The factory tyres are a 45 series (225 front and 245 rear)

But for compliance I've been told I need to fit 40 series tyres as this is whats on the Aussie placard.

Is this drop in profile going to affect the car at all? Will it through out the speedo?

It will throw out the speedo, theoretically.

This tool is a good to work out what changes will happen as you change profile. At the "stock" 100km/hr (which generally isn't accurate anyway) you'll be doing 96km/hr. Which is sweet FA, honestly. Given that the OEM speedo overreads, you'll find that this new size is closer to "true".

I went to a 285/35 R18 wheel. According to the above tool, I should have lost 3.1% of my diameter compared to a 245/45 R18 (which is the OEM 350Z size). However, when I compare the speed to my GPS and those helpful electronic signs on freeways, at 110km/hr my digital speedo is now 1-2km/hr higher than their indicated speeds.

Why don't you try to source a 350Z placard instead, and that way you can keep the stock tyre sizes?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
