Tyre Widths

I want to fit 285's on the front and 315's on the rear. Would there be any reason why this would not work on the stock wheels assuming rolling diameter will be stock all round?

It will work, as long as it fits. I've run 295's on the front fwiw.

I had R888's fitted today. 285 up front and 315 on the rear. They fitted fine.

Where did you get them and how much? I'd like to hear how they perform.

I havent taken them out properly yet but they are a lot louder on the road than the factory Bridgstones to the point where my 2yo daughter actually said something about the noise. They seem to grip well around the corners and when accelerating from a standing start it wont spin the wheels. However as I said I havent really done any fast driving on them yet and I am also comparing them to almost bald Bridgstones because I cant remember what the Bridgestones felt like when new. Although I did get almost 30,000k's out of the original tyres.

I can answer how they perform. pretty ordinary. in my experience on the track they were slower than the factory dunlops and the factory bridgestones. they are not as good as the standard tyres, their sidewalls are no where near as stiff so you get an initial 'inertia moment' of roll as you turn in, and outright grip is not fantastic either. everyone I know who has tried them on their R35 so far felt the same way. they are not up to the weight and power of the 35. they are cheap, but that's about all they have going for them. R888s are great on lighter cars like civics etc on track but they struggle a bit even on 32/33/34 GTRs, it's obviously even more of an issue on 35s.

I wont be doing any track days so I don't think that I will be able to give you the comparison that you are looking for. I think they are more sticky than the stockers but that may only be because they are 30mm wider all round.
