What tires would be recommended as well?

Aim: To sit perfectly !!

Diameter: 18" <li>Width: 9.0" <li>Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3 <li>Offset: +30 <li>Hub bore: 67.1

Thanks in advance

Well 235 is minimum legal width you can run on a 9" rim and 265 is the widest. I dont think it'll sit in the guards. My mate has just bought R34 GTR wheels for his R34 GTT (18X9 +30) and they sit perfectly inline - fronts slightly out. He's running 225s front and 245s rear.

Won't have to roll guards them or anything.

They will fit. Run 235/40R18 all the way around, they are legal for the rim, will look good on the rim and doesn't effect your overall rolling diameter all that much. They are also a reasonably common size and you can pick up some good tread patterns without breaking the budget IMO (Toyo Proxes T1R, Bridgestone RE001 etc.)

you should fit 245/40/18 with that size & offset.

how lowered is your car?

Its on tein coilovers so i can set it to whatever.

But i plan to have it sitting around 1cm under.

Like 1cm of rubber in teh guard if possible.

So perfect/tough kinda look :whistling:

So you think 245/40/18 all round will get this look?

Or will it scrub?

it will fit... go for 235/40/18 all round as its a fair whack cheaper than 245 and the difference in width is absolutely f**k all... you will not notice any extra traction from a 245

I strongly suggest you go 235/40/18 front and 235/35/18 for the rear. I have this on my R33 and I find the tyres just sit slightly out but not outrageously and they look mean in my opinion.

It's all I have right now, sorry. This is with 235/40/18.

i have yokohama s-drives in the same size on the same rim, and they look a fair bit more stretched than this. i know not all '235' tyres are exactly the same width, maybe compare different brands side by side before you buy.

Where/what is the best place to get tyres around sydney arear. Around $200 each tyre.

Thanks

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
