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.

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
