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...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
