I daily a 225 on a 9.5"... don't seem to have any issues. although tyre brand and model has a lot to do with it. Something with a flimsy sidewall will be balls. Also depends on how the tyre seats in the rim, which somewhat depends on the design of the rim.

But....

I agree. Ngaroj unless you slam the crap out of your 33, stretched tyres are just gonna look stupid. And by slam I mean like less than 1cm between fender and rim (not tyre).

+1 for that.

A little stretch is ok but as long as you have a decent ride height and fitment, if your not going Hellaflush.

So much hate for something people know nothing about.

But yeah you need offset if youre going for stretch, otherwise dont bother.

no hate here :cool:

and doesnt stretching improve the 'response' of the tyre becauce there is no sidewall

for say turning its actually quicker

haha this not for any handling advantage nick, its because i want to run 10" +25 on the front of my car, AND cos im a cheap curry, i'd rather wear out my current tyres before buying a decent set. nothing these sensible mofo's can say will change the latter fact

haha i know for you its not

ill be doing the same when i get my new wheels for the evo... although they wont be stretched im not going to let the tyres go to waste

^^ u got blags wheels yeh?

forgot about this thread i just got 245/40 on my 10's perfect imo stretched a little, but sits very nicely on teh rim not over the top like it was when i had 235s and cos of this particular tyre i wont even get dne for it cos it sit so well ill try get a pic forya before i put em back on the car

currently running 235/45 on 10.5", shouldnt be a problem at all

That's a decent stretch!

i got 235 on 10' and 225 on 9' with my xd9z....

looks insain. the po-po disagree, but what would they know haha

Man, you lowered your car yet?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
