GTR wheel is 16x8 so I would go a 235/40 or a 245/35 etc. I wouldn't really recommend any cheap tyres as you get what you pay for. With 16" wheels a decent tyre shouldn't be overly expensive anyway. Give Wheelworx a call I'am sure they can point you in the right direction.

i get my rear tires from used tyre mart.....WONT skimp on the front end, cos they stop n steer.

i got a pair of conti sports 225/45/17 with 80% tread for $80 ea :cheers:

i cant afford new rears all thee time, my mech 2-way makes short work of them, and the guys there are heaps helpfull.. they let me choose the ones i want.

The terms 'good' and 'cheap' are contradictions, and should never be put together. As others have said, tyres is the one thing you definitely should not EVER skimp on. If they save your life once, then they are more than worth spending a little extra money on. How much is your life worth?

I cant understand one thing , People spend a heap load of money on turbos intercoolers all types of engine mods yet they want shit second hand tyres or just cheap new tyres, have you all forgotten one thing, the only thing between you and the road are your tyres and our a stoby pole. I work for a tyre company and i see all types of crap and trust me CHEAP MEANS CRAP . going back a while today tonight did a test on all brands of tyres and cheap tyres are just that cheap. So guys and girls have respect for your babys (beasts) spend a little more and buy tyres that you can say and spell. I mean buy a brand Name Eg: Dunlop , Goodyear , Bridgestone , Yokohama , Toyo , Pirelli , Michelin

anyway thats my rant lol

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
