yep i reckon.

have a look at www.gtr.co.uk, under the wheels, brakes, tyres section of the forum, and check out the "pics of wheels on cars" thread.

there's a lot of rim/tyre combos there

I dunno about that Stewy, look at the 265s on a 10" wheel; that's what I'd consider a slight stretch.

Imagine 235s, that would be ridiculous!

I'm in the exact same situation, I've got 10" wide XD9s and I need rubber but I'm thinking I'd rather pay that little bit extra to get some rubber protecting the rim lip.

i ran 225/45's on 17x9.5's regularly, and that was with rims with shit bead seats (hard to bead) and run flat tyres (hard sidewall, very hard to bead). 225 on a 9.5" is equivalent to a 235 on a 10". im running 215's on my 17x9's atm and once again, equivalent to a 235 on a 10".

i guess it all depends on each persons opinion on what they define as stretch, but a 255 on a 10" certainly isnt an unsafe stretch, in fact its within the recommended sizes for a 10" rim from the manufacturer.

i'd run 235 by 40... heaps cheaper and will allow you to by better tyres for more grip... 235 is flush on 9" rims so on the 10" is slighty stretched... i've seem 235 on 11's driven every day... if your worried about rim protection buy 16s with heaps of rubber and stop hittin gutters when you park...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
