245 Tyres On R34gtt Front

[Bomba]

Hi Guys,

Will 245's (245/35/18) cause any handling/steering issues on the front of an R34GTT with stock (to be upgraded in a few months) suspension?

Wheels are 18x9 +35 so I know there wont be any clearance issues with guards. (FYI rears are the same but will have 265/35's)

I know the steering feel will be harder but will there be any actual handling issues? I know GTR's have 245's on the front but a) they have 4wd and b) they have different suspension.

What about mechanical issues? ie strain on power steering pump, rack etc.

I'm still considering 235's but I'm a little worried about having that stretched look (not for me) on the 9 inch rim.

Any thoughts/concerns welcome.

Thanks,

Chris

hey man ive got 245s on the front of my gtt, i got 18x9 +30 (r34 gtr rims) all round and its fine, rubbed on inner gaurds abit but i took em out, mines is as low as the coilovers will go but with rolled gaurds i dont have to many probs. only scrubs if i take bumps/dips/gutters/driveways to fast but other than that i still throw it around every now and again and it handles fine, my steerin is still lite as aswell
