Hey guys ive been searchin the forum for this but with no luck so i will just ask instead (excuse for the noobiness)

I currently have. Volk gtc's Front:235/40/r17 rear:255/40/r17 which are 8's front 9's rear , i have the rear gaurds rolled and i want to know what size tyres do i need (or to get) to have stretched tyres

I also have 25mm neotech spacers that i recently installed into my rear wheels which i found was rubbing, what camber adjustment would i need and ride height to be able to fit it in ( the car is sitting 145mm off the ground from the middle)

Any ideas?

Cheers

List the offset so we can tell you?

I run 235's front and 265's rear with only rolled guards. My old 19's were the same and were fine without even touching the guards. You need to list the offset as well as the spacers to work out where the wheels will sit with the tyres. Sounds like you bought GTR offset and are spacing them to a gtst?

Im not sure about the offset because i bought the car with the wheels on it already so im not quite sure what he was trying to achieve but from the lools of it the fronts are +35 rears +39 but as i said im not quite sure ,

offsets are usually stamped on the wheel somewhere, usually on the inside of the spokes

think my old wheels were 9.5" wide +38 offset with 265's (very small stretch) fronts were 8.5" wide + 35 with 235's (again think they are very slightly stretched.

I have 9" wide + 36 with 265's on the rear now and they scrubbed a fair bit and I had to roll the guards. Just to let you know what my experiences were

Might have to double check the offsets but I think thats about right

You dont need offset to determine 'stretch'

with 8 and 9, it's hard to have any sort of stretch unless you go like 205 for front and 215 for rear which is abit stupid

Sell the rims and get 9 and 10, or 9.5 and 10.5, then get into the stretch game

yeah but he wants to know if its going to rub etc. so offsets matter for that. I know offset doesnt effect stretch

Thanks mate i will just double check the wheels when i get back home, i might just do that and get 265's when my 255's run out , just got these new neotech spacers which i wanna be able to use in either the fronts or rears, also i dont have any camber on the wheels so their straight as,

Why do you want to stretch the tyre? Fitting a tyre that is narrower than the tyre manufacturer supports would not be legal and will have worse performance than a proper fit?

Or is this just about the ful sik look and handling doesn't matter?

Hey duncan

Yeh it was just to get a "Sik" look but it sounds like the cons are more than the pros

OK makes sense....just wanted to make sure you were aware it's only a cosmetic choice, not a performance one ;)

Put the best tyres you can afford under it and enjoy, the right tyres really transform a car

Or in my case its done for maximum clearance so can run more lock lol.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
