As wide as you can afford the best quality tyres that fit them, how much power you got, only street, street and track?

Im running 245/45 17 dunlops on R34 GTT rims 7.5" on my boat for daily use, good tyres are a must, my 245 Dunlop Direzza Z1s out grip, out brake and out handle my old Nankang 265s by a mile, its also in the offset for fitment, my track rims are 9" wide with a 265 Dunlop Semi, they need at least 3 deg neg on the front and 2 deg neg on the rear to keep within the guards, which is fine for Semislicks at the track but would scrub out the inside of your tyres on the street.

I went 17x9+35 front and rear enkeis for my 33 fitted with 245/40/r17's all round car is lowered to just above legal height. Backs fit fine and could probably be getting into the +20 offset range before worring about rolling/scrubbing, the front however has failed me somewhat. i had to fit 8mm spacers for the rims to clear my brakes (rims are rpf1's, stock gtst brakes) and i get a bit of scrub on the edges if im cornering hard on a bumpy road, however they sit very nicely stance wise. Im hoping either a lower profile tyre or some 235's on the front will resolve this.

Hunting down tyres was a bit of a mission though. i wanted to get 255 or 265's on the rear but to do that the price was getting pretty painful, according to the blokes at the tyre shop the demand for wide 17' tyres is on the way down due to everyone getting big rims so the cost of them is going up, inversely the cost of bigger tyres is coming down and is cheaper then 17's now. If i were in your shoes with the knowledge i have now i would be looking into getting 18x8.5/9 +30 fronts and 18x9.5+30ish rears.

i dont have any good photos showing how they sit, just a couple snapped when i got them.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
