Hey guys,

Please, advise if I can use 255/35R18 tyres on 18x10 or 10.5 rims? How should they look on a GTR? A picture of this set-up will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Lou

Just legal on 10in not on 10.5

Yeah 265 will go on a 10.5, even then they look a little "stretched"

255/35 will be quite stretched. Mexican is for GTS-t drivers, not GTR drivers!

If you want to fill the wheel you'll need 285s. I run AD08, 285s - rocking on a 10.5" rim. Looks PHAT.

255 on 10" will be ok

I run 265's. stretched..... :S

Did you need to roll the guards to fit them in? or is it all dandy?

I've only had half of the guard rolled (just the middle section). Didn't need to roll the entire guard to fit.

My car isn't super low however as i need suspension travel given the use it sees

I run a 255/35R18 Toyo Proxes R1R on a 10.5" rim on the back of my Cossie, has decent stretch and that tyre is quite wide for a 255.

Considering the car is a R33 GT-R that runs 245/45R17 originally I'd lean towards a naturally wide 265/35R18 (R1R, AD08 etc.) or a 275/35R18.

hey mate

if you wanna see what 265/35/18 looks on a 18x10 rim on a gtr have a look at my posts of my car when i got the new rota grids on it.

265 look a little stretched, i think for how low the car is i would not go a 285, however i might play around with how it sits!

R31nismoid's R33 Gtr with the 10.5 with the 285s looks pure porn, helps that it has everything, colour, stance, height, wheels. just buy his car lol. (seriously nice car man, loving the wheels!).

265 - little stretched, 285 - purposeful.

Not to mention from behind looks pure fat and wide ass.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
