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

hey godspeed,

i had 285 SO3 bridgestones on my r33GTR, they fit sweet, looked like a beast ha, but tram lined quite badly, went down to 255 toyo's, fixed problem

Edited by donkey

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.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
