245 Tyres On R34gtt Front

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

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
