Hi Guys

So thinking of putting 225 40 18 tyres where there were 235 40 18 on previously.

Would this fill the guard less or would it stretch on the rim and fill the guard about the same(really like how my current tyres fill the guard atm)

Wanted to know as the 225's are so much cheaper in the same brand..

Thanks for any help

Cheers

Depends on the make of tyre...I have some 255s here that are narrower than 235s in another brand...all in all it shouldn't make too much difference but what types are they...235.40s are usually what's recommended for skylines and are usually cheap too cause its a very popular size

this is what ive been hearing but St.George tyres have ku31's 235 for $159.99 and 225's for $130 - they will do my alignment for me for free as well (not going to tempe because i dont trust them with balacing and alignment)

so..for $40..stick with 235 in kumho ku31's?

    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
    • Yep I'll find those and get back to you. To be honest I wasn't aware of data sheets until you mentioned it. I'm still new to this haha, lots to learn. My car is parked outside, it rusted in less than 24 hours lol. Only minor surface rust that was easily removed but I've been worried that it might rust from the inside out and screw me over in the long term (if I decide to keep the shitbox for that long).
    • Sorry I meant nismo bushes in the J arm, not the actual gktech upper camber control arm.
