i'm sick of paying $600 for good tyres that are 275 wide, i run gmax enigma rims, and the rears are a killer. so i've decided to stick with something smaller and get even better tyres..... still less than half price of pirellis! so i have my eye on the standard r32 gtst wheels (wheel pic attached) and i was wondering if they can clear the 33 gtst brakes... ANY help would be excellent, cheers!!!!

u don't need to have 275 35 mate...9.5 can wear a 245 40 tyre pretty happily and wil lcost less ebcause its a common sized tyre...think ur spending too much on tyres that u don't need...or else stop dropping skids lolz

haha, no skids here, just handbrake turns, well that makes me feel better, i dont know how the 245 will sit, the 275's sit pretty flush on the rear. the car does get quite a workout. i track it regularly and semi slick 275's cost me a kidney last time i bought them. anyways, youve opened up a whole new world of tyre choice for me... thanks :wub: all i can do is ---> :P:):wub:

^^ exactly....i mean u could even do 235/40 and it will have just slight stretch...some people on here run 10" wide wheels with 215!! crazy stretch but of course illegal lolz. ur fronts could use 225/40's aswel.

if someone told u to get 275s on ur rears they should be shot. 255 at max. 275s should be fitted on 10"-11"

275's on a 9.5" rim is the correct size.

How do you figure that?

A 9.5" wide rim is roughly 240mm wide in mm, a 275 tyre is 275mm wide..

You'de run something like a 235 or 245 tyre which would fit nicely on the rim, anything bigger than that and it will be baggy

275 is just over kill, what a waste of money

For the price difference from a 235 to a 245 tyre is quiet a jump when your buying a full set, I'd save the extra cash and go with the 235 tyre as your only losing 10mm/5mm on each side which is nothing

245 is probably still a bit over kill, save some more cash and go with 235. That will save you heaps of money as there is a bit of a price jump from 235 to 245

Factory those rims come out with 205 so your not losing anything

You obviously don't know where wheels get measured from :sick:

A 9.5" rim isn't measured from edge to edge, it's measured from where the bead of the tyre sits. for instance a stock R32 gtst rim is 6" wide but the total width of the rim is 7.5". The same goes for diametre. the total diametre of the same rim is just under 17.5" but where the bead of the tyre sits is 16".

So according to your 'figuering' these rims should have a 153 tyre on them................ :)

Nuh man the 245's on my rim sit perfectly, not overkill at all. No stretch and it dosnt hang over the side of the rim. perfect fit. I heard that you probably shouldnt go over 255 on a 9.5 inch rim or it will start to look gay.

Im running 235's on my fronts that are only 8.5 inches wide, also sit perfectly.

i dunno but to me i just wouldn't wanna buy a tyre more than 255 for a 9.5" wheel unless i need to for some reason...doesn't seem right having 265's or 275's hanging over the wheel?

i have 8 up front a 9 in rears...i have 215 45 bridgestones which give slight stretch and 235 45 advan neovas on rear and are perfect if not the slightest stretch.

now if a 235 tyre is hardly stretched on my 9s...on 9.5s i think they'd have a good stretch. 245 should correct the stretch..so anyway in the OP case having a 235 or 245 tyre would be best as it would be cheaper then running anything bigger obviously especially running 275

thats a 275 on a 9", doesnt look "gay" to me.

it also depends on the tyre brand, as those same rims had 235's on them when i got rid of them, and the 8" front looks fine, the 9" rear is stretched a little.

245 on 9.5 " is the legal minimum size. that's what i run and i am definately fan of the look... slight stretch, and legal... just :P

235's are cheaper as they are more common, but it depends on the tyre... bridgestone adrenalins are around 380 a corner in 245/40/18

lol I know how rims are measured man

but hey if you want to run a 275 tyre on a 9.5" rim go nuts, certainly looks gay to me. Pictures above compliments of Mitch to show how gay

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
