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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
