215 is perfect for those rims as there only a 7.5 or 8 wide

215/40R18 or even 225/40R18

235 will be too big on them and bulge out over the rim alot

215 would give best look, 225 would bulge a little bit but not really noticable

yeah but a 225 is uncommon and will run you a bit , possibly same with a 215?

nope very good price wise, there are a few good brands out now that are cheap but really good quality wise, plus 225 are starting to become more popular due to euro cars, and lots of ricers run 215 to clear guards

yes 235 is a very common size, but you can still pay big dollars for any tyre, it depends what you want it for...

id photoshop them but the pictures are taken at the wrong angle. The third pic is close, but compare the angle of the rims in your first pic, compared to the other pics, wont sit right!

Also Marshall Powdercoaters do good work.

oh they are only narrow pizza cutters. *faceplam*. this is why 33's get such a bad rep.

first of all i would never go a 215/35 on ANYTHING. the speedo will be thrown out by 5km/h at 60km/h. thats reducing the overall rolling diameter by too much. a 215/45 is much better and retains a pretty much stock rolling diameter. i would only go a 235/40 if the rims were at least 8.5" wide. anything narrower and u will be riding ballon spec.

btw thats a hell dodgy spray job, couldnt the guy at least tape off the tyres.

honestly i wouldnt spend money on powder coating these. put that money towards better rims.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
