I have 265/35/18 on all 4 (18 x 9.5 rims)

Plenty of room for 275s...

But why would you want to?

The 265s tramline like all hell - and the steering is pretty heavy. You've got all the grip you need - no point going wider.

Just my 2c.

Thanks... Jamezilla

I just put some 19's on the the car, & because they were different size widths the ATTESA was going hay-wire. So I was about to order some more tyres but the only size I could get Good Year REV SPEC in was 275 /19 /30. I'll just stick with the originals, they ride so much more better. Spewing coz my rims look FHAT!

Just read your other thread...

275s will fit - provided your suspension is set at factory height. You may need castor adjustment though.

With the 265s on full-lock (with new-improved 'speedboat' suspension) they just clear the splash-panels under the gaurds. Mind you - I have adjustable castor-rods... not sure if they make any good/bad difference though.

I imagine I would still experience some rubbing on tight, speedy turns (not all that common) as the car natuaraly shifts it's weight.

Best you can do is try them. I'm sure the tyre place will let you check them out?

275s are fine.

I was running 275s on my 18x10s for quite some time until I changed tyres to the Azenis ST115 which doesn't come in 275.

I tried it both on stock suspension and my Tien RAs.

As James said though, steering may get a bit heavy though and unless you really need the grip, stick to the 265s.

I completely agree.

To be honest with you... dunno what the brand is but I haven't seen any other car with them. I have had them for about 2years, they were originally of my CLK Benz. The offset for the rear is OK, however the front stick a little more into the guard thean normal. Again dunno if this is an issue aswell???

Here are the pics... tried to also get a close up of the rim. PS: Note - these were off my CLK so no smart comments about the Benz / AMG logos :D I planned to change them.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up fitting the originals this morning & how happy am I ;)

Thanks for the compliment mate.. but I still wipe my own "@ss" so i'm no different to you guys. Let leave the Mums & wives out of this OK :D

- I'm 29

- Got kicked out of school in Year 10

- Property "with my family"

By the way, I haven't picked up E55 yet. 2 more weeks. Though it is the country. Honestly, I prefer driving the GTR, but the E55 is a V8 & nothing sound like a V8 especially supercharged.

Haha - the poor little thing hasn't been out and about for a little while - so maybe there's a twin KGB tractor too!?

Anyway, now you know the car please dont drive over with your Hummer

You know... it probably could get a fair way up the bonnet... if it could catch you :cool:

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
