hi guys

little bit confused as to what the stock tyre size should be on the stock 17" C34 RS Four S rims

they're currently wearing 215/50/17

i have two tyre stickers on my front door/door jamb

one is in Japanese and says 215/50/17

the other is in English and doesn't look OEM. it has "PN: STAGEA-TP02" in the top right hand corner, and recommends tyre size of 225/45/17

which one is right?

i thought the stock 17" RS Four S rims were 7" wide, which would lend itself better to 215 width tyres?

any help appreciated

Personally I would put the widest tyres that can fit. Alternatively buy what size is more readily available at the right price but get a quality tyre.

225 should be OK on a 7" rim, right?

Yeah mines a little out too. 120 on the speedo is actually about 112-113. I've just gotten used to it.

Yeah all stock at the moment. I did buy Tein s-tech springs but they didn't lower it enough and were stupidly hard, so I sold them and put the stockers back in.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
