I'm going to buy a set of 17x9 +22 all round for my R34GTT these days, the owner told me that all 4 rims already have new 225/45 tyres on them. But I also heard that these tyres ideally suits 255, not 225......

Now I have no idea what I should do... buy it without the tyres, then buy 255? Or keep the 225 on those rims??????

Plz help me guys...

are u guards rolled? 255's will be a bit tight on the GTT guards with that offset. nothing wrong with 225's on 9" rims, little bit of stretch but nothing too bad. buy them with the 225's, fit them, and skid on them. measure how much clearance u have, then go from there as to what size tyre u go. as i mentioned, if ur wanting to drift, the 235/45's are ur best bet, they are extremely common and are cheap as chips. they also fit well on the 9", tiny bit of stretch, enough to keep ur sidewalls fairly firm and to stop a lot of flex.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
