So i've had my car for awhile now and when i purchased it i bought these 18x8 ROH Mantis Rims.

The tyres lasted about 1-2 Years and when i got new tyres put on about 6 months later the rear drivers Blew out from the inside,. at first i thought it just required a wheel alignment, later on about another 6 months the passanger side front blew out same pattern the wire was showing from the inside under the tread, i thought the same. another wheel alignement...

I called up to get some quotes and the guy said there is no way those tyres are on your car... i was like well im looking at it and they are

he stated who ever put the tyres on my car have put the wrong size on. the size on my 18"rims are 255/50R18

I have no clue what were on before when they lasted for around 2 years no problem. He stated they have probably blown out from hitting the suspension on the inside.

Im just wondering if anyone knows what tyres should be on them because well im just after some cheapies and i wanna get them online instead of having to pay $250 each at a tyre store.

Sorry its a Nissan Skyline R33 S2 1998

I've done a bit of looking around in the Wheel sizes & Offsets thread and a few people with the R33Gtst and 18x8 rims have 235/40/r18

their offsets are around 30-38

so i might take a look at a few of these, hopfully they work out haha

Yeah i just realised this, I mixed up the numbers when typing does anyone else do this lol they were 225/50/r18 my bad sorry guys :) any way i took a look and they were a cheap chinese tyre thats why they blew out. i just ended up getting some 225/40/18's they are a cheaper brand also but my last experiance with them was good. because there so cheap the rubber lasts for ever! BUT they are crap in the wet which is fine for me. Achilles is the brand i got. just for everyday driving. hopfully with a new wheel alignment i wont be getting one sided wear

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
