Hi guys,

i want to lower my r34 gtr as low as possible without scrapping the lip or nismo skirts/rear pods - So i want to run the biggest tyre size possible to raise it up before lowering it so that the distance between the guard and tyre is less, if not tucked.

Im running 19x10 +15 offset rims ... will 285/35 have any scrubbing issues at the front? I know a lot of people run 275/30 and a handful of people run 285/30 ... but i just want to get a second opinion on whether or not these size tyres will scrub regardless of what everyone else runs, speedo calibrations etc.

Thanks for the help

cheers

I have slight scrub at front on full lock. Im running 275/30/19. You may have scrub issues I would say with 285s especially if you want the tyres inside the guards. At that ride height you may also break the front difuser off on driveways etc (if u have v spec)

You are not supposed to raise/lower your car by getting different profile tyres. The profile you choose needs to be as close to the factory overall diameter or else your speedo will be compromised. You can choose different widths eg: 255 or 285 + corresponding profiles to reduce scrubbing but you will still need to maintain factory OD.

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
