Best Tire Size For Gtr Wheels

[GH05T]

Hey all, for my 32 gtst which has 32 gtr wheels.

I will be using kumho KU31 tires as I love them and an get them cheap,

My question is what is the original tire size (car is not with me) and what do you recommend for tire size for street use.

The car is lowered but not to any point of needing lower profiles or having any former issues obviously.

Do I stay with stock sizes or change them a little.

The ony thing that will change what I will buy is sometimes obscure size Crete obscure prices, I doubt that will be the case with 16s though?

I was bored and had a look around, 225/50 16 seem to be the most common size for 16" rims between 6" and 8" for street tyres, I'm using Hankook ventus Rs3 atm and they are the best street tyre I've ever used, and at $116 a tyre you cannot go wrong.

Stock GTR setup, from memory:

Tyre size: 225 / 50 / 16

Wheel size: 16 x 8 +30

Stock tyre size will do you fine for stock GTR wheels.

Not till you want to run a set of 17 x 9 / 17 x 9.5 or 18 x 10 etc. wheels and going more low.

Then there will be other tyre sizes to look at.

These will be my next wheels,

Their like the big brother to the stock gtr wheels.... Very big brother

I like 205/55R16 on the front and 225/50R16 on the rear myself.

[GH05T]

why?

[TTT]

I've got the same as hank. Only because I already had the 205s for the front.

[Hank Scorpio]

why?

Why not?

Staggered sizes will bring all the bishes!

[GH05T]

I am asking honestly why, the thread is here so i can find out why change sizes like better response less roll or whatever. so why is a genuine question

[R TUNE]

Maby even a lower profile,

Also is anyone able to get Kumho KU31 in 225/50/16 X4 for under $560?

ran 225 all round on my gtr track rims, no need to stagger then

205 is too narrow
