Recommend Wheels To Suit My Lmgt4S

[xntrq]

Bought a set of genuine LMGT4s from n15mo and now in need for some rubber.

Could someone recommend me some tyres and also give me a breif explanation on how the size thing works? eg xxx/xx/xx?

The specs of the wheels are:

19x 8.5 +25

19x 9.5 +30

Looking for some slimline tyres so I don't have to roll my guards. Also I'd like to have some super grippy tyres that won't turn my car into a jetski when it's pissing down.

Preffered Brands:

Kuhmo

Yokohama/Advan

Federals - apparently they don't make the right size for the specs of the wheels

I also don't want the tyres to be less in width than the rim itself (where it sticks out of the tyres like most "JDM" cars), don't want the rims to get rashed if rubbed lightly on kerbs.

was wondering what you were on about with the title, tyres make much more sense!

So you don't want stretch, good move, my nismo's are 19x9.5+30 all round & came fitted with 245/35/19. Just enough stretch that the previous owner managed to scuff the passenger side ones, have now swapped the rears to 275/30/19 which has a nice square sidewall & plenty of protection. Fronts will most likely be going to a 255/30/19 after chrissy.

So decoding tyre sizing, for example 245/35/19. The '245' refers to the width of the tread (245mm), the '35' means the sidewall is 35% of the size of the tread (so 35% of 245 = 85.75mm) & the '19' means its a 19 inch tyre.

As far as what you can fit you might need clarification from someone with an r34 but for the fronts I'd be considering a 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 and for the rears a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19. May need a roll for the 275, I did, but again check with someone else with a 34.

245/35R19 and 275/30R19 are stupid sizes to run on an R34.

Factory tyre size is 225/45R17 (Diameter ~634mm)

On the front run either a...

225/35R19 (OD ~640mm)

235/35R19 (OD ~647mm)

On the rear run either a...

255/30R19 (OD ~636mm)

265/30R19 (OD ~641mm)

I'd personally run 225/35R19 and 265/30R19, these are available in plenty of decent brands and tread patterns. 245/35R19 will not only look like arse on a 19x8.5 wheel but is 20mm taller than factory!
