it just looks like u dont need that much of a tyre on 9.5" man...the walls full on hang over the wheel....doesn't it feel slushy? and for 275 yokohamas...damn must of been pretty pricey for rears?

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

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

Your first post suggests to me that you did not know how a rim is measured which is why i argued the point.............

And i really don't get how a tyre can look gay ?

its a 9" rim you illiterate muppet.

either way, i fail to see how it "looks gay"... i'm guessing your one of those people in that "the more stretched the tyre, the better it looks" bandwagon

They are Falken FK 452, 265/30/19.

Going to have to agree with Abu with this one. 275's on a 9 inch rim? That is waaaay too much and it does look bad. The tyres come out further than the rim is what we mean by looking gay.

And before you flame me with the whole stretched tyre thing i dont like it either. Why have such wide rims if you are going to put shitty small tyres on it and have worse grip.

245/40/R18 on my 9.5 inch wide rim:

Perfect fit

weird... i have 245/40/18 dunlop lemans on 9.5's and they look heaps more stretched than that!

also people stretch tyres on rims for a few reasons fyi:

stiffer sidewalls

cheaper tyres

looks

to clear guards

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
