g'day.

Im looking at getting Bridgestone Adrenaline RE001s to fit on my R34 GTR rims (fitted on my R32 GTR).

What size do you guys recommend for these rims? Is it better to go more narrow for the fronts or keep them all the same widths?.

R34 gtr rims are 18" x 9".

The car will be predominately street use with the occassional track day.

Hey mate, I had the same rims on the same car, i put on bridgstone potenza SO-3's. they were 255/35/18's. they were a very very good tyre and didnt scrub at all.. hope this helps..

Thanks guys for your replies. I think i will take heed on the 255/35/18 on all corners. I am now looking at importing some Bridgestone RE-01R's from Tirerack.com. I heard they are pretty damn sticky and are a good compromise for street and a little bit of track work. Used to have Yoko Advans but didn't rate them much. If i cant get my hands on the RE-01rs, i may consider Federal 595 RS-R or Toyo T1-Rs. Its all too confusing, too many options and opinions out there. :wave:

Those rims came standard with 245's... which fit well... 255's will fit ok too, touch more baggy.

i have 255 michelins on my 34s and they're actually slightly stretched.

given that manufacturers widths vary between brands, a 245 or 255 road would be fine.

I've seen some 265 road tyre fitments on 34 wheels where the sidewalls are straight up - not baggy

245s are the way to go on 9inch wide rims in my opinion. depends on the tyre of course too. I've tried 235, 245 and 255 on 9 inch wide rims. all are ok (though the 235s have always been semi slicks which are about the same width as a 255 road tyre).

so to recap, go for the 245s all round. either 40 or 45 profile.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
