dude im running the same size and width rims on my r33 and i have 235/40ZR18 on the fronts and 285/30ZR18 on the rears, and im running tein coilovers and the car sits pretty low. So i dont see any reason you cant run the same width tyres on your 34 maybe even 275/30ZR18 on the rears, And i was running 19s on my old r34 with 245/35ZR19 all around.

235/40R18 and 255/40R18 will do fine. 235 will sit comfortably on the 8.5" and 255 will have the slightest stretch that you may not even notice. will be much cheaper in those sizes too since they are more common in 18" tyres. a 285/30R18 in the rear would be a bit of over kill plus heaps of money. a 30 profile is pretty thin also so ride will be hard and are more prone to damaging the rim due to hardly having a sidewall (pot holes, rocks, turning hard).

if you dont mind stretch on the back you can even do 235/40R18 all round as i'm doing on my 17x9.5 rim i have 235/45R17 and they are stretched but not too much. with a 40 profile it'll be a bit more stretched but should be fine.

the places you called must have idiots working if they have no idea on what fits those sizes.

i would steer clear of any shop that cant answer such a simple question or has to look it up on a "fitment system"

235 40 fronts and 265 or even 275 35 18 rears. or 285 30.

but your most common and economic option would be the 23540 and 265 or 275/35..

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
