So I have slapped on some hard compund Hankook Ventus TD Z221 for Phillip Island. I also have a set of 295/35/18 AO50s but think I am in for all sorts of trouble to get them to fit my car.

Has anyone fitted the 295 AO50s onto a 9.5" rim ? Or do they really need a 10" rim?

Looking for semis for my GTR. Essentially want something that is going to last a few track days but won't take forever to heat up. Also, the cheaper the better :)

I have yet to buy rims yet but I was looking at 18x10, so would 265/35 be the best profile? I am not finding many semis in that size. Should I look at other rim/tyre width combinations?

Need to fit V8 supercar alcons underneath.

Cheers

I'm in the same boat as you except my rims are 18x9.5. I've found a fair few tyres that would be fine but I can't afford them at the moment so I just started snapping up the used 265/35/18's off ebay.

I might start off with that as I don't think I'll be getting the full potential of new semis just yet. How do you find the used tyres? What do you look for when buying them?

Ahem - surprised no one has snapped these up yet:

And I have 295 30 18 A050's on 18 x 10's. Seem just fine and fit under the guards of my 33 GTR - hint hint Fatz.

I have 245/35 on my 18x9.5's at them moment and they are stretched hence the step up to 265's.

I just put 265 18 into ebay or semi slick and see what comes up. I picked some up earlier this week and now i'm just waiting till some more come up at a decent price.

No clearance or rubbing issues with 295's Eric?


I have a brand new set of R888's at home in 265/35/18 but am considering snapping up a set of 295's I have access to instead, and was wondering how they would be on an 18 x 10.5 rim.

Need your opinions guys...for the same money...would you choose:

1) Toyo R888s 275/40/17

or

2) Hankook Z221 255/40/17

Tyres are going on 17x9.5" rims front and rear...are the Toyos really as bad as people make them out to be?

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
