hey fellas.

i have a question:

does any one run into trouble with there stretched tyres on there rimms. as in damage around the rimm of the mag?? reason i ask is cos ive had my my mags for 3 weeks and chips are popping up left right and centre and its pissing me off :P !!

i have 10.5's with stretched 275/35/19's

it only happens to the rear so far.

has this happened to anyone else or is it to be expected with stretched tyres??

i run 9.5" with 245/40/18 @ 30psi and have no probs so far.... this includes limiter smashing burnouts and drifting, although i am going for 255 next time as i recon i'll just squeze 'em in :P

275's "stretched" onto a 10" wide rim? I'd hardly call that stretching mate. Maybe if it was a 235 or even 245, but certainly not a 275...

well they are slightly stretched as in you can grab the "lip" if you know what i mean?? and i didnt explain where the chips are popping up exactly.

there actually around the 'inside' of the lip where a wider tyre would actually cover it. cant put pics up at the mo camera playing up. i dont know how im getting them.

    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk
