Currently running 18x10.5 +15 rear and 17x9.5+18 front, not worried about the front because I think it will be fine running a 265/275 but I wanna know what the rear will look like with a 295-315 or something..... So anyone else have anything?

You gonna flare the f**k out of the guards? I got rubbing on full lock with a 18x8.5 + 22 (pretty sure that's what my fronts were) and that was with a 235 front, and slight rub over big bumps with the 265 rears on 18x9.5 +22

I would get track wheels except I'm back at uni so I'm getting f**k all money atm. My wheels are off too. I could easily fit the front wheels. Would need a slight flare to fit 295's to the rear but don't wanna flare to much, wanted to see pics though!!

you will need a serious flare to fit that kind of rubber man...

try going say 235/40/17 with GOOD rubber on the front and 265 on the rear.... you'll still have to raise/flare but not as much

I have a fair amount of room up front especially with the camber im running so I think I can fit larger rubber. As for the rear, I think I will need a flare but would like to get an idea of how much flare...

What kind of rubber are you going to run in 295?

Way way to large imo. Russ run 245(?) all round in KU36 and got a 38 at winton, I ran 235/255 and got a 38 at winton. Russ also ran AO50's in the same size and got a 34.

So as Hamish said, go for a better compound that is going to fit. 265 (R18) RSR's on the rear and 255 (R17) if you really want grip.

I'm yet to decide what rubber. There is 285's in rs-r's available, but I heard they aren't very good.... So I'm still reading up on what's decent for the price range. Do the tyre places from the states deliver to Aus?

    • 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)
