Pls, Advise 255/35R18 Tyres On 18X10 Or 10.5 Rims?

[hotz]

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

You can.

Will be stretched on a 10 or 10.5.

Considering a 9.5 runs a 265 comfortably - flush fitment.

Just legal on 10in not on 10.5

[Hadouken]

Oh, thats awkward

So a 245 on a 10.5 is a no go? haha

whats the min for a 10.5

[Owgasm]

265 fits on a 10.5, its what a lot of people run who can't go any wider. Money/fitment/size available etc.

[R31Nismoid]

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

[Hadouken]

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

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

[Owgasm]

Stretched on what?

10.5s? Its not that bad a stretch.

Fits perfect from my understanding.

I know inner clearance is fine.

The exterior for me has changed though.

I know not the best pic!haha, but this is 255 35 on a 10 and 245 35 on a 9(front)

i'll try put a close up of the 10 tomorrow, it's not majorly stretched

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

[Hadouken]

Ah I see. 285's would look hot as d cup tits. Thanks

Nah 265's aren't stretched like drift spec, but I reckon 275's 285's would look best.

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.

Great inputs guys! Thank you for the info.
