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.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
