Your local tyre joints should be able to fit and balance for 15-20 a tyre if you supply the tyres. You should find Kumho cheaper than that if you shop around, We do Jap Nitto's for that kinda money, and Achilles fair bit cheaper, We dont sell the Kumho so cant help on those but they should be a fair bit cheaper than 366 a tyre.

245 35 and 275 30 20 is ideal.

(EDIT: can help get you the Kumho a fair bit cheaper if you like, just pm me.)

Pm'd you mate.

that's a decent price you got on those.

Just to answer your question, its fine to be running the 245/35s on your fronts and the 275/30Rs. I ran that particular profile setup in the 19s, threw off the speedo by about 5km/h (100 on speedo, actually doing 95)

See i realllllllllly don't want my speedo to be out, i will avoid that at all costs. I have 3 points left :/

If all else fails paget discount Tyre and battery should be able to fit and balance the three. Not sure about other places fitting and balancing tyres that didn't come from them, doesn't hurt to ask

Ali should sort you out anyway

haha true, I just saw what 100 was on my satnav and matched it with needle position on speedo.

If in doubt I just had my satnav on and switched back and forth if i needed to change songs lol

So i was just speaking to a mate in the states that has the same lowering springs, same size rims, same car, and 245/35/20 F 275/30/20 R. He says that the speedo shouldn't be off because when you do the calculations the fronts are within a cm from the back diameter. He didn't explain it very clearly but he has never had any problems with speeding or anything because of it, but in saying that he hasn't checked if his speedo is off. I don't have a GPS and i would love to get 245/30/20 from somewhere hopefully this guy Ali K can help me out :)

Remember to compare stock wheel size against the ones you want or have..the speedo is calibrated for stock wheel and tyre sizes.

And its the rear sizes that matter as this is where the speedo gets its reading from on the gear box, unless Im old and things have changed.

Thanks A LOT for this, it says my speedo will be off by 2.11km p/h. Is it possible to get it "balanced" or something so that my speedo is corrected but i can still run those tyres?

The word you are looking for would be "calibrated", you would need to get the speedo re-calibrated.

Ah calibrated then. Who can do this?

If the V35 is anything like the M35 (& a lot of other cars btw), then the speedo is intentionally made to read non linear. It might be an attempt to stop people speeding, or maybe to give owners an unrealistic idea of how fast their car is. Below is a graph I did a while ago on tyres with rolling diameter the same as factory.

It raises some question as to how a speedo would be calibrated to fix the non linearity - it looks like a compromise might be required.

Just get a satnav or something and see how far your out with the new tyres. You'd be surprised how quick you learn what your actual speed is compared to your speedo

My power fc hand controller is actually pretty close to actual road speed so i just go off that

And are you sure you can't get a width/profile tyre that matches or is slightly under your rolling circumference of stock tyres? Surely if you go 10mm under or something you can find a good combo

I do plan on upgrading my sound in about 2 months so until then i'll just have to drive a couple of KM's under the limit which is okay. ATM my stock tyres are 225/40/18 245/40/18. If i go for say, 245/40/20 the speedo actually goes off by a lot more nearly 4km i think it was. 245/30/20 & 275/30/20 is probably the closest combo i can find that LOOKS great on the car and fills the guards really well and only goes over the limit by 1.8km p/h.

255/30R20's should work well on the rear, only .73km/h difference at 60km/h

Remember you only need to look at the rear wheels for your speedo difference.

However, if your car has traction control, then you may have issues if the rolling circumference is different.

I'm not sure on the deal with this is

Did you hear back from Ali (Taleb Tyres)? He is pretty good at working all this out, if you ask him what the best match would be he should be able to sort it out. I did next to no thinking when I got both sets of wheels/tyres off them, Ali Picked good offsets (there not aggressive but I'm not into mexican looking wheels anyway) and a good matched set of tyres. This is why I reccomend them to people, because they are good at what they do and really nice to deal with

I think i'm going with 275/30/20 on the back, it says when i'm doing 60 i'm actually going 61.94 so i'm okay with that.

I know guys that have 275's on the back and have no issues with VDC at all so that's good for me.

Yeah been sending messages to eachother all morning very helpful so far and actually told me that my car's manufactured with 225/45/18 245/45/18 instead of 225/40/18 245/40/18 they just cheaped out on compliance haha. He's sorting out prices now with some Kumho KU31'S i'm just unsure about if i should go with 225/35/20 or 245/35/20 at the front.

Personally I'd go slightly under size, the KU31 grips well so shouldnt be a problem. The slight stretch looks good without being rediculous

My old ones were about 10-20mm undersize for the rim, think they were 10. Looked pretty good:

Thats just me but. Whatever your back tyres are doing (stretch or bulge) I would keep it the same up front

Update:

Purchasing a set of Achiles ATR Sports off Ali K @ Taleb Tyres

225/35/20

255/35/20

Going for a stretched look on a 20x8.5 and 20x10 rim.

He's helped me out loads on information about fitment and especially price!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
