So i just ordered a set of Rota Grids for my r33.

I got staggered 18x 8.5" & 9.5" Rear. Im looking to fit up 235 tyres to the rear for a bit of stretch, as dont want too much.

But what would people recommend for the front? Would 235 on the front also look ok?

Please let me know your opinions as i need to get tyres in the next day or 2. Thanks

As Callan said, 235 and 265 is ideal.... That's what i normally run (at the moment i run 235 & 275 as some cheap 275's were available to me)

I have run 235's all round when i wanted to burn an old set of 235s i had spare and it looks pretty soft! I am not a fan of stretch at all..... While it wasn't THAT bad, i still didn't like it and traction was garbage!

The 235 does not look that impressive TBH

Depends how low you are going with the car too, i lowered mine and with the 275's had to roll the guards, used heat and was careful and the paint still split :verymad: Ah well!

235,245,255,265,275 should all fit..... You could stretch 225 but if you want any traction i wouldn't bother.... On that note, Kurtis34 has some cheapies for sale and he is on the Central Coast so you may be able to buy and try and if you don't like it skid them to death and try another size :laugh:

Have u had any quotes on these man?

Not on the KU36, i was going to go Federal RS-R as they are around $240-250 per corner for most sizes.....

For your comparison of the KU31 your limits are endless, depends how much grip you want and how much you wanna spend, between option 1 garage, St george tyres and some other players out there its cheap tyre time!!!

Yeah your not wrong, its a buyers market atm.

Alot of companys are parralell importing around the country and have some really good deals out there

The ku36 is an awesome tyre, but they dont get much kms out of a set thats for sure because of how soft they are. lol

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
