I prefer 255/35 on a 9.5.

I'm old so stretch doesn't appeal to me but hey if thats the new craze I'm fine with that too but not on my car.

I'm not sure of the effect on the tyre wall, if any

Yeah thats a good size (what I have in RS-R format though so more a 265).

If you go with too much stretch, you end up wearing out your sidewalls pretty quickly.

Cheers guys.

Ain't being a tight arse otherwise I would be driving on cheap shit tyres. I like it, it's the look I was going for and it has a more direct road feel. This is my family daily so I don't need 265/35 RS-R's or equivalent. Also I don't have room to run a wider tyre unless i raise it up due to the poor coilover clearance in the rear because of the cargo area.

Alligators gon' alligate

Wearing them out? What's your reasoning behind this statement?

Talking extreme hellaflush spec... :) When running -5deg camber + say a 225 on a 9.5" rim, you actually wear out the sidewall really quickly as you're rolling on it to an extent. Anyway, It's all g, have it how you want, I prefer fat tyres :)

I thought you ment under normal fitment. There's clips of VIP spec cars with almost 10 deg camber with sparks flying off the rims cos there not enough tread

I know for a fact the Michelin PS3's 235/40 R18 will fit perfectly on a 9.5 inch rim, but that is the only 235 that would fit. It changes from brand to brand and even from style to style inside brands.

And GTRKat is right when it comes to Costco tyres, they are cheap Bridgestones/Michelins in small, and common performance sizes but not in the bigger stuff.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
