Hey guys, just need a little help.

I bought my gf some pretty nice looking rims for her 1989 charade ( I'm going to pimp it up for her 21st present )

I got some Gmax wheels in 16 inch which look awsum on the car. unfortunately they need new tyres and the seller didn't know where he got them.

they currently have 205/45/16s on them, but they are a much bigger rolling diameter then her current wheels which will chuck her speedo way out, also, I want some slightly skinner tyres, ie . 205/40/16 because they are rubbing at the back.

The car will need the back guards rolled and new suspension, I just need to find some tyres.

Bob jane are not that helpful and she doesn't need performance, just some cheap rubber to get her around! Please tell me some good places, or if you have these sorts of tyres!

Thanks,

Adam :)

Yokohama make a 215/40x16 in the S.drive model. This is a performance tyre, though. They don't seem to make a similar size in the economy model tyres.

Anyway, have a chat to Andrew at Traction Tyres in Rowville (www.tractiontyres.com.au).

thanks for some of the help guys, but unfortunetly, the tyre can't be any bigger then what it already is... 205/45/16... I was hoping for a thinner tyre.. ie... 205 or 195 /40/16

Jezza I await your call. mine is 0419 110 110 btw :D

Thanks,

Adam

I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 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 馃槈. 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 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
