No 245 is already stretched on a 9.5" wide wheel.

How low is your car? Do you have rolled guards?

Did you get a wheel alignment done? Do you have adjustable castor and upper arms?

When I fitted 265 on my BNR34 wheels, the front right would scrape under load. I wound some neg camber and castor to stop it scrapping then took it down to an alignment place to get the numbers right. Thanks to a couple of popular tyre shops that have regular specials, my alignment was all over the place, so my fiddling actually improved the alignment.

okay awesome... man honestly thats what i always thought but someone that was running 10.5 all round with a 255 said my 9.5 on a 17inch wheel with 265 will be like a baloon... f**k what he says man the picture u posted is perfect and exactly what i want.

thanks for the help

You do realise that fitting has stupid amounts of neg camber on the rear to make it fit, dont you?

I think you must be spot on! My car isn't that low, especially on that corner, I need to adjust the other 3 corners slightly higher to be in line with it, I only have castor rods, I haven't had an alignment yet, it only just clips the edge of the side skirts front connection point in the wheel well

I am running CE28's 18x9.5 +15 with 265's all round.

Heaps of room! I could drive a truck through that guard gap.

I think a +12 would be better or a 18x10.5

Hi, are you fenders rolled for your 18x9.5+15????? With 265s

I bought a set of 18x9.5+12s with 265s

cause seller said they were +22s and I did not check them first   Yep im a dumb butt

So just wondering if they will fit do not want to roll fenders   

 

Thanks

no need to roll guards, depending on height, get some adj. camber arms if required

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
